Our story tonight is called The Willow Tree, and it’s a story about the first signs of spring on an open field beside a lake. It’s also about stepping stones, a bench up high on the bluff, geese paddling at the shore, tall rubber boots, a breeze that blows the hat from your head and the calm quiet that comes when you stop chasing some other moment and make a home in this one.

Full Episode
I've got another sleep-inducing podcast to recommend to you. It's called I Can't Sleep, and it's hosted by Benjamin Boster. I'm supposed to tell you that his show is intentionally boring, but as someone who writes whole stories about label makers, I just can't. Bookbinding? Philodendrons? Egyptian hieroglyphs? Yes, please.
I want to get all snuggled up and listen to these perfect topics as I drift off into a great night's sleep. Benjamin's voice is soothing, and I feel like I might just learn something as I sleep. All of us here know how vital it is to get good sleep. It affects every part of your health. So check out the I Can't Sleep podcast now and get ready to wind down and relax.

Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and then you fall asleep. I'm Katherine Nicolai. I create everything you hear, and nothing much happens.
Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to a Home for Hooves Sanctuary. They offer a forever home for rescued farmed animals. You can learn more about them in our show notes. If you are looking for more ways to invite coziness into your life, we have some ideas for that.
We just put together a coloring pack with a Nothing Much Happens mini coloring book, colored pencils, and a downloadable exclusive story. It's such a nice gift. We also have our signature Bob Wittersheim t-shirt, our weighted pillow and wind-down box, our premium subscriptions and autographed books.
It's all at NothingMuchHappens.com. Now, I've made a place for you to rest your mind. A very simple story to pull around you like a warm blanket. All you need to do is listen. I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
If you wake later in the night, don't hesitate to turn an episode back on, or just think through any parts of the story that you can remember, and you'll drop right back off.
Our story tonight is called The Willow Tree.
