put your hand(s) over your heart...

The development and adoption of the Pledge of Allegiance is an interesting story.  Fraternity and equality were left out.  God was added later.  Millions of school children take the pledge every morning.  (It's entirely possible that millions more want to pull a Kaepernick.)  Whether you choose to put one hand over your heart and honor the flag and the country, or whether you put two hands over your heart and align yourself with gratitude and your deeper self, those few moments every day present each of us with the chance to be mindful.
