Following my recent trip I wanted to keep the feeling going that I experienced at the temple I had discovered. I began searching locally for an ideal place where I could further delve into ways of finding my peace. At first I was disappointed in what I could find. When it came to places where I could expand upon meditation practice or seek out a spiritual place I seemed to be running into a dead end. A couple of places seemed like they were more inclusive to certain cultures, while another was a bit too far out for my taste. Even the partial hippy in me couldn’t get on board with them Lol.

While I haven’t given up on searching, this brief quest made me realize something. It’s not so much about the place of where I find to practice. There doesn’t need to be one singular place. I am surrounded by alters everywhere I look. Whether it be the meditation space I set up in my home, sitting behind the wheel of my truck, under a tree in the park, or in front of a computer participating in a session. These are all equally worthy places to practice my tranquility. The world is my alter to practice in front of and I will continue to seek more in the future.
