When I visit someplace, such as a Church, I have come to ask myself, “Am I going to linger, to abide or to take up residence?” To linger is to walk around and look at things. To abide is to sit, kneel, even stand and pray or listen for the Presence, the Power of the environment. I make a deeper connection when I abide, but I am not yet changed, that is, going to take the experience with me when I leave. To take up residence is to sit for quite a while, maybe eyes closed and just be present to the presence, without any expectations. If so, I will take the visit with me into the world outside, a bit changed within and this benefits anyone I meet or things I do.
