Where the Sky Remembers

A sweet, sleepy story about finding the soft heart of beauty in our sometimes hard world. I took a walk with Bodhi this week that helped me remember to see the beauty in the world. I wrote a little bit about it and posted a video of our walk on the blog at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/the-beauty-around-us/.

A Japanese fairy tale about a magical boy who was born from a peach. This week, the mountain has been either shrouded in fog or drenched in sun, and we had a beautiful wolf moonrise. The fog got me thinking about how often life can feel foggy and I wrote a bit about how mindfulness can help on the blog. I also posted a video of a foggy walk with Bodhi and a picture of the moon.

A sweet, sleepy tale from the early 1900s about a girl who lives on a fishing boat with her family and her dog. We had snow, rain and a sunny day up here on the mountain.
