A Japanese fairy tale about a magical boy who was born from a peach.  This week, the mountain has been either shrouded in fog or drenched in sun, and we had a beautiful wolf moonrise. The fog got me thinking about how often life can feel foggy and I wrote a bit about how mindfulness can help on the blog. I also posted a video of a foggy walk with Bodhi and a picture of the moon. It's all at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/fog-and-sun/.  If the podcast helps you sleep, would you consider supporting it with $1 a month? You'll get new episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions, and you'll be helping me to get closer to realizing my dream of having Listen To Sleep be my full-time endeavor.
