[0:00] Hello, this is Sky. I'll be here with you until sleep. You don't need to listen closely. You can drift off whenever you like. There's nothing to get right tonight. For now, just let yourself be held by the sound of my voice. Let's begin. If this podcast has been keeping you company at night and you'd like to support me directly.

[0:56] Membership is a beautiful way to do that. It includes ad-free listening and exclusive sleep stories. And it helps me continue sharing these calm little spaces with you. The link is in the description.

[1:32] Before we move into the story tonight, there's an invitation here to let the night hold you. We don't often think of the night that way, but there's a kind of quiet support in it. A slowing, a softening, a slowing, a softening. You don't have to hold everything on your own right now. Whatever you've been carrying, you can loosen your grip just a little.

[2:42] There's no need to drop anything completely. Just enough space for your body to begin to rest. You might notice small things, the rhythm of your breathing, the weight of your body, the stillness around you. Nothing needs to change.

[3:36] And if your mind is still active, that's okay. It doesn't stop you from resting. You can let my voice be something steady beside you, while the night gently takes over. And from here we can settle into this moment this infinite moment of unlimited possibilities the possibilities of sleep of dreaming of surrender, of allowing the possibilities of letting all the worries drift away.

[4:53] Letting all the things that happened in the day, and the things that didn't happen in the day, and the things that we might have needed to do and didn't get to do, the interactions that we might have needed to do.

[5:26] And the possibility of coming back to this moment, to this place, to this peace, wherever you are now, to the possibility of sleep, and dreaming, letting go, surrender, the possibility of being grateful.

[6:18] Grateful for this moment, for this opportunity, to be with yourself. Nothing else to do, nowhere else to go besides right here, in this moment. And now dear ones I want to tell you a story about the magic of the birds, we've already spoke about the magic of the kitties, and now I want to tell you about the magic of the birds. It all starts in a little gazebo, that's covered in ivy that's at the edge of a marsh.

[7:48] And there's plants around the gazebo. Now the landscape is not all bog. There are places that are a little bit higher, places that are a little bit lower. Remember, there are many plants here, many plants winding their way through a bit of forest. Before one gets to the water or the bog.

[8:44] This little gazebo sits right on the edge of that. A little gazebo made of wood.

[9:02] It's got ivy growing around the inner edge and around the outer edge and growing up the posts and growing up into the roof And just outside the gazebo is nettles, some brambles, some trees. Trees, low trees, not tall wide trees, low bushy trees with many branches, with leaves in full bloom. There's more ivy covering the ground, and bits of wood around that have fallen from the trees.
