While not raised in a religious household, in the 90s, I was deeply impacted by an obscure TV ad with morbid imagery & a child's voice reciting a prayer: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

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.
