I caught a train headed outside of Chicago into the rural parts of Illinois. It was great because I could just focus on myself and on nature around me. It turned off my phone and meditated while riding around and getting off at random stops taking in the scenery.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">I think that it is important for each of us to take a \u201cME\u201d day once in a while, turn off all distractions and become one with nature and yourself again. That\u2019s how I work on my path to enlightenment.<\/span><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11032\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11032\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterfever.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11032\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2012\/07\/10\/my-path-to-enlightenment\/meditation\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Meditation.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"550,733\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Peter Le in Meditation\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Peter Le in Meditation&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Meditation-550x250.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11032 \" title=\"Peter Le in Meditation\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Meditation.jpg\" alt=\"Peter Le in Meditation\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Meditation.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Meditation-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Le in Meditation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being in a big city like Chicago has a lot of benefits.
