1–2 minutesDo not forget, amidst your self-becoming, the foundational mystery that you are alive and aware in a bizarre universe. Ground yourself in the realization that to “realize” is lucky.

“Has any one supposed it lucky to be born?/I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.” ~ Walt Whitman
