The Wind in the Willows, The Song at Dawn

A lost otter cub, a night of rowing, and something holy in the reeds at first light.

Retold for sleep from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908 and long out of copyright. The story is Grahame's; every sentence here is our own.

Clear, grounding, light

Clear and grounding, present without weight, a few minutes to come back to the breath and carry on steadier.
