Well...today I was looking for meditation spots. I visited a Cathedral near me, and you know what? It was huge and fancy, and had a section for prayer- away from tours etc - but it just didn't feel conducive to meditation. I left with some reservation...I might return. The other place is this garden near me, and craft center--- they had no places to lock a bike, and it was filled with activities...not wanting to lug my bike around and find who I am meant to speak to (to ask if its okay if i visit the garden), I simply left.. I may still visit later this evening by walking. If no one is there, i'll just settle by the river somewhere.
