This passage is a wonderful invitation to revisit a state of gratefulness that has no particular reason or cause in the outside world. So grateful for that!
As for places with a vibe, it reminds me of my recent visit to the Ramakrishna Mission in Mumbai earlier this year. My family used to visit it 50 years ago, when it was surrounded by natural park-like setting. Now it is a smallish compound that is home to a serene temple (albiet with melodious kirtans happening in the evening) and an ashrama surrounded by very tall apartments all around it. Of course, with the accompanying traffic from the dense community of people. Despite the obvious change in the experience of getting to it and the ambiance of it, I experienced a becalming effect that made me realize that it is still a sanctuary!
The ending of the passage made me think of the incantation "Aum" (often spelt as Om), which I recognize as an invitation to just BE in the Universe, void of anything that has a state -- the sound of nothing or indeed, everything!
