Look, we break it down, down, down, down, down.

She break it down, down, down, down, down, down.

She got to message for the people, a brilliant mind and a clean soul.

She's standing up to the evil in making sure that we all grow strong enough

To break these change we're in

They keep us in this painful condition

She gave us truth and division

That's why we listen

She break it down, down, down, down, down

Down, down

She break it down, down, down, down. She break it down, down, down, down, down, down.

When we are sitting in this space of Black Talklandia, we're trying to figure out how to make this world a better place.

And that requires us to understand the decisions that are being made right now.

But we have to do that while we're living actual lives. So it's not the easiest of shows to engage with. And I always am so grateful and appreciative for all of you who give me your time and lend me your ear. But we also know that we got to take care of our emotional center, our spiritual center for those of you who celebrate it. Oh, and for those of you who do celebrate it, Happy Easter Monday to those of you who celebrated. I know a lot of y'all was in church yesterday,

but again, three days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday it is. So I was, happy Easter. Happy Easter season.

Happy resurrection weekend for the saints and the a ain't. So, but we have a ritual on this show to help us to navigate not only the challenges that we're experiencing in our own lives, but early to also navigate the difficulties of sitting in Black Talklandia for as long as we do here on this show. And that ritual is called a moment of gratitude. It's very simple. And it goes a little something like a leo.

In just a minute you're going to hear music.

When you hear that music, it's going to be an invitation to you to join the rest of us,

because when we hear it, we are going to collectively begin taking the slowest, the deepest,

the most lung capacity expanding, the most joyful heart and vigor, rate, and troubled mind cleansing,

weary, so uplifting, we are going to take the most amazingly juicy breath. As we kick off our most important segment of every single day, it is time for our moment of gratitude. every day. You know,

every day we got to do it and every day it matters.
