[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.
[0:46] If this podcast has been keeping you company at night and you'd like to support me directly, 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. As you arrive here tonight, there's no need to hurry. The day has already happened, whatever was done, and whatever wasn't done can rest where it is for now, perhaps there are still thoughts moving.
[2:09] Little pieces of the day, trying to keep your attention.
[2:21] Conversations replaying things to remember things to decide, you don't need to push them away, and you don't need to follow them either.
[2:51] You might imagine them gathering together somewhere nearby. Not gone. Just not quite so close. There will be time for all of that later. And perhaps, as those things wait over there, you can begin to notice that there is more room here. More room inside this moment. More room around, yourself.
[4:00] The body often knows something about arriving before the mind does. Without needing any instructions. Without needing any effort. It may already be beginning to recognize, that this part of the day is different. The busy part, has ended.
[4:57] The night is beginning. And you don't need to make that happen. You can simply let yourself be here just as you are. Nothing to improve. Nothing to solve. Nothing to understand. Only this small piece of time. And the quiet company of my voice. Together, we can gently move into tonight's story.
[6:07] This night, I'd like to guide you through some observations that I've made today. It is summertime in the Northern Hemisphere, and I'm going to let you know, what I observe in this little tiny part of the world, in a small little garden, the jasmines are blooming, Many different types of jasmines are blooming here.
[7:05] The fragrance gently wafting on the breeze, and the foliage, growing wild and tall, with much vigor, Reaching for the sun. The jasmine that I'm looking at now, has five petals on the flowers, that come out of the center, in a spiral shape. The petals, which are all joined in the middle, have a tiny yellow sun, with very delicate pollen.
[8:19] The petals curl, toward the back. And the new blossoms, that haven't opened yet, are wound into a very tight spiral. On the open flowers, the sepals, which are green, curl at the very bottom of the flower. And I can see teeny tiny babies, tiny little green flowers just emerging, a lime green color. And as they grow bigger, the spiral gets larger and larger, and begins to turn white, until they get much bigger when they're about to open.
[9:46] Into a five petaled wheel, with the little sepals at the base that curl under. And as the flower stays open, the sepal curls grow bigger. As I lean in to smell them, I notice a very, delicate, beautiful aroma. It's very intoxicating. And there's something so lovely and calming, about the fragrance of this jasmine. I've smelled a few varieties of jasmine before, and I particularly appreciate the night-blooming jasmines as there's something.
