The Meditate Mass 351 Challenge is my spiritual practice to visit each of the 351 Massachusetts cities and towns.  As I mentioned in my first post on this, I have two criteria to count as one of the 351:

  1. I have to actually be in the town and either meditate/pray/sit quietly for at least 10 minutes (I’m also finding that walking meditation works well too!)  This makes it so I can’t count places that I’m driving through on the Massachusetts Turnpike (Yup, just picked up Blandford!)
  2. I have to take a picture of me in front of a landmark or building that would only be in that town (e.g. post office, town hall, police station, etc.) It doesn’t have to be a government building, but at least one where there’s no mistaking where it is.  For example, I could choose Durgin Park or Fanueil Hall in Boston.  It also means I can’t just step over the border 3 feet and sit for 10 minutes.  I have to find where the life of the town is.

I don’t have a time limit, but this is a practice in intention.  I’ll just keep going at it and see what interesting adventures it leads me on.

I’d like to come to your town or city, and I need some help in identifying the interesting and unique feature of the place where I should take my picture. Also, is there a good place to meditate for 10 minutes or so there?  Please leave a comment and give me a suggestion!

Here’s where I’ve been so far!
