We burn with a desire to visit spiritual places. We think we need to enter a monastery to realize our true selves. We think our true selves are something that can be "acquired" and we burn with zealous desires to acquire it. But as our gaze into the vast silence deepens, our prayers grow silent, and external spiritual practices fall away, as do our need to pray in monasteries, cathedrals, canyons, mountains, forests, the "perfect place." Once we come to the realization that God has already found us, no matter where we are, then we can concentrate our attention on God and not our environmental surroundings.
