Leaving to go Meditate

Something I need to keep in mind the next time I get the urge to escape life and head to the Zen Monastery to do some 'serious' meditation.

"I went all over looking for places to meditate. I didn't realize it was already there, in my heart. All the meditation is right there inside you. ...I traveled all over untill I was ready to drop dead from exhaustion. Only then when I stopped, did I find what I was looking for ... inside me."
