The G-d Point

G‑d is found in nature, and He is found in the miraculous -- but He is neither the laws of nature, nor is He the miracle.

He is found in matter and He is found in spirit -- but He is neither matter nor spirit. He is found in heaven and He is found on earth -- but He is neither heaven nor earth. He is found in the soul and in the body, in form and in matter, in the righteous and in the wicked, in light and in darkness, in existence and in the absence of existence --He is found in all things and in all opposites, yet He is none of them. At the point where all of these opposites converge, look there for G‑d.

That is why G‑d's name is Peace. When each retains its own uniqueness, yet all converge in peace, there dwells G‑d.

The God Point
To follow your narrative description;

God dwells in Peace but is not Peace.

God dwells yet does not dwell.

God dwells where opposites meet yet does not dwell where opposites meet.

God is God yet is not God.

In the end you say nothing about G-D.

This via negativa leads us to nothingness.

God is not nothing....but rather

Eternal Creative Being.

Anochi.
