Music adapted from Dr. Marla Spivak’s Meditative Story, "How the bees saved me."

Above a bed of colorful strings, a sprightly piano picks its way, moving through a bright melody. Others join, moving in harmony to create a web of busy, happy sound. The melody moves through into a musical wash of strings and heartbeat drums, carrying us to a wider, yet still deeply connected, space of peace and deep thought.

Original music from composer Ryan Holladay.
