Newly revised with slightly slower pace, and gently fading music at the end. May you be lulled you to sleep, dreaming of butterflies, stars, dragonflies, and soft clouds. A little child explores the natural and spiritual world; learning timeless lessons. Dreamy and mindfully detailed, filled with natural metaphors; this excerpt, from philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Carové's story, was written in 1833 and translated by Sarah Austin. The symbolism and detailed imagery of a spring meadow are mesmerizing. Music by Chris Collins (Indie Music Box) Jordan Jessep. (Pond 5), and Jonathan Slatter.

The warmth of your voice brings me to a place of calm and delight Even at eighty the journey of the boy reminded me that there are always new bits of wisdom that enlighten Sacred Spirit within.

Her voice is so soothing I’ve never made it to the end. I always fall asleep even when I think I’m not going to . it’s perfect for me, My mind is so default pattern oppositional but somehow I give in to this, it bypasses the well-worn resistance path to a softer, gentler one.
