How Do You Find Venice?
"How you do find London?" Now that I have arrived in a foreign land, in Burmese 'naing-ngan-kyar, "another state," this is the question I am asked over and over again.
At first the question was strange to me. What did they mean? And even when I knew what the question meant, how should I answer? Is "finding" a place about the journey to get there or your experience once you get there? How far does your journey affect the way you find your destination?
And then I am asked, "How did you find prison?" I think that prison found me. I did not set out to get there. Once I arrived I found some things were different from the world outside. Space (small), food (bad), light (dim), sex (none).
But some things remained the same. The freedom to think, to remember, to meditate, to create, to perform, to paint, once I had found new types of canvas, new instruments.
Your spiritual space looks the same, wherever you find yourself.
