Since Einstein, we have learned that there is no center; or alternatively, that any point is as good as any other for observing the world.... There are no privileged locations. If you stay put, your place may become a holy center, not because it gives you special access to the divine, but because in your stillness you hear what might be heard anywhere. All there is to see can be seen from anywhere in the universe, if you know how to look; and the influence of the entire universe converges on every spot.

To Practice This Thought:
Sit quietly in your living room or back yard. Contemplate how you are connected to the universe.
