| 0:03.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I am so honored you are here to meditate. |
| 0:10.0 | I congratulate you for showing up for yourself today. |
| 0:15.0 | I know that there are so many things that you may have thought you needed to be doing right now, but here you are. |
| 0:23.6 | You're doing this. |
| 0:25.6 | And this could be, could very likely be, one of the most important things you do all day, |
