Each night, I would repeat this prayer in bed as I was falling asleep. Each night since hearing that prayer, I've prayed/meditated on death, to this day.

At the end of the prayer, I would leave my full name and address, expanding outward into the cosmos. Number, Street, Neighborhood, City, County, State, Country, Solar System, Galaxy, etc., until I'd fall asleep, usually making it pretty deep into the nether-regions of space.

Planet as well. I'd exhaust as much detail as was humanly possible, and then some. Just to cover all bases.

I do the same practice each night while falling asleep, now without the words. The prayer has morphed into a meditation on mortality and the interwoven fabric of totality in which all are equally embedded.

Same here not a religious family, but I had a wall hanging with this prayer on it, since childhood. I remember saying it over in my head as a child and lately I have returned to saying it. It has always brought me comfort. :)
