908. Patient Plow: a meditation and story for your bedtime routine
When Sidney Snow Plow’s garage door gets stuck, he tries to have fun while waiting.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 3:59
Patient Plow Excerpt:
Sidney the Snow Plow woke up to a loud clunking noise. He blinked sleepily and looked around his cozy garage. Light slipped through the cracks of the big garage door, but something was a bit different. The door wiggled a little, making a thunk, thunk sound, but it wasn’t rolling up like it usually did.
Sidney noticed the bottom of the door wasn’t letting any light through. He squinted at the little sliver of white he could see outside. “I wonder if I’ll be going out today,” he thought. Then, he heard Marta, his driver, just outside the door. She sounded a little frustrated. “It’s completely frozen!” Marta said with a sigh.
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
