0:00.0	This is episode 2,156 of your daily meditation podcast.
0:09.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you. How are you doing today? It's been a tumultuous day if you live in the United States and are awaiting the election results.
0:24.1	As I record this, we're not quite sure who the next president will be.
0:30.4	What we can be sure of is that half the country will be disappointed and half the country will be elated.
0:41.0	But when you think about this entire election process and this global
0:48.1	pandemic and all the things that are happening in the world. It's so much clearer now more than it ever has
0:58.6	been in our lifetimes, just how interconnected we are.
1:04.0	So can we really feel a sense of glee or happiness
1:10.0	that half the people in a nation are so bitterly, utterly disappointed.

2:37.0	How do you want to be remembered during this time?
2:43.0	Each day... remembered during this time.
2:48.4	Each day we are all defining this time. How do you want to feel each day? Sometimes during extraordinary times, whether or not your particular
