In the city, it would be the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I love going, especially on Sunday mornings, getting a chai and reading the paper and walking through the galleries.Outside the city, it would be the cabin up north. Nothing like sitting on the deck, watching the sun rise or set, or jumping in the cool, sparkling water in the heat.

Records hall computer lab, alcove room. The only place I can write a decent essay.illuminatrix says,
Every response I have read, I have journeyed to your 'church' in my mind, and I gotta say, you are a 'devout' and 'holy' people. I love it. I have been in the thick of so many things, the only solitude I've had I've scraped together piecemeal. Mostly, it's come down to scraps of fiction and the shower. Pretty lame, I know. But I don't waste anything. Every time I close my eyes, I'm savoring that moment. And I've been remembering a lot more of my dreams than usual, which I've been treasuring.Loon says,

Often it's the subway.canadafreeze says,
It isn't a place as much as it is a state of mind. Sometimes I find it when I paint, or walk or, if I'm lucky, when I come upon an unexpected place of beauty. Occasionally,Excellent question.

Inside of me surrounded by noise.DynamicDbytheC says,
Anywhere in nature while moving. Biking in the mountains at dawn, hiking near the beach, swimming in the outdoor pool early morning so it is only mine or running through the college campus. Larry and the subway cracks me up. That would probably kill me. Definitely a state of mind.Redx3 says,
