Ep 988. Glittering Light: a calming short story for children

Prince Grey and Cashew, the little kitties, notice something new and interesting on the ceiling. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:10 Glittering Light Excerpt: It was a quiet afternoon on Ahway Island. Sunshine streamed into the cozy house, filling it with golden light. Prince Grey Kitty was curled up in a warm sunbeam on his favorite chair. The chair had flat wooden arms which Prince Grey could sit on and survey his realm, and it had a soft red cushion on the seat that the little cat could snuggle into for a lovely nap. At first, the sunlight touched only Prince Grey’s back paws, making them toasty warm. But while Prince Grey was sleeping, the sunlight had moved slightly so that, slowly but surely, the sunbeams began covering his entire body, warming his fur, until finally, the beams shined into his face. The bright light in his eyes woke up the little kitty from his nap. Today’s Meditation: Relax your whole body from head to toe in this meditation.
