A gentle sleep story for grownups. Close your eyes and let the story carry you to a place of comfort and rest.Tonight, we follow Starling, a woman who has lived in a small apartment on the top floor of an old brick building for eleven years. She knows every crack in the plaster, every squeak in the floorboards, every angle of light that comes through the windows at different times of day. But there is one thing her apartment does not have, one thing she has wanted for as long as she can remember: a view of the sky. Not the sliver of sky between buildings, but the real sky, the deep sky, the sky that holds the moon and the stars and the slow, patient drift of clouds. Tonight, we watch her give herself the most beautiful gift she has ever known.00:00 Welcome and settling in03:00 Starling's apartment and her life in the city10:00 The memory of lying in the grass at her grandmother's house18:00 The idea takes root25:00 Research and preparation through winter35:00 Meeting Vera the contractor45:00 Spring arrives and the work begins60:00 The skylight installation75:00 The first night under the glass90:00 Watching the seasons change through the skylight105:00 Quiet reflections and deepening rest120:00 The world above, the warmth below140:00 Drifting toward sleep160:00 Soft landing and goodnight📻 Listen to Hustle Studios Radio 24/7!🎧 Live stream: https://radio.hustlestudios.net/live🔊 All our podcasts — playing back to back, anytime!Music track: Thoughtful by PufinoSource: https://freetouse.com/musicRoyalty Free Music (Free Download)License: https://freetouse.com/licenseThis episode is a work of fiction.
