🎶 Singing Sparrow: a story and meditation for your bedtime routine
18 minSoledad Sparrow’s day doesn’t go as she planned, but Gus Goldfinch helps her cheer up. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:12 Singing Sparrow Excerpt: There were many berry bushes in the forest, but Soledad usually went to the same one, a large blueberry bush not far from the edge of the forest. The bush had extra tasty berries, and it sat in a patch of lush green grass. Ever since she had first discovered this bush, Soledad had come back to it again and again. Soledad liked routines and knowing what to expect. Once she was in the forest, Soledad flew along the stream, following it to that special blueberry bush. She soon reached the bush…but when she arrived, she quickly saw that there wasn’t a single blueberry left on it! Soledad flew all around the bush, but she didn’t see any berries at all. How strange! She had been at the bush just a few days ago. There hadn’t been tons of berries then, but there had definitely been some left. What could have happened to them? Soledad frowned. Perhaps someone else ate the blueberries. Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine sunlight warming you as you lie in a grassy meadow.
