and I'll go a little slower the second time through. If you wake later in the night, turn an episode right back on. You'll be back to sleep before you know it. Our story tonight is called Color Walk, and it's a story about a soft way to move through the world on a spring day.

It's also about a box of crayons in the desk drawer, a thin jacket, a cool breeze, storefronts and shop windows, and elevating the everyday with calm attention. Lights out, friends.

Get snuggled down into your sheets and get your favorite pillow in just the right spot. Let's do a quick muscle release tonight. And we'll pair it with your deep breaths. We're going to do three tonight. I know, we're getting wild over here. I want you to breathe in. And squeeze all the muscles in your lower body. Squeeze your legs, your glutes, even your toes. Hold it and then sigh it out.

Breathe in. Squeeze everything in your upper body. Arms and fists. Hold it and let it go. Okay, one more. Breathe in. And just squeeze everything temples to toes. Squeeze and hold one more second and feel the release of the tension in your body.

Good. Color walk. From the kitchen table. I could see the treetops moving in the breeze. It didn't look too strong, not even a wind, just a zephyr that stirred the new buds as they grew. My mug was nearly empty, but it still felt warm and comforting in my hands. and I savored the last sips.
