The Waking Soul

Tonight, we are reading Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," a tale whose rich layers unfold into a lullaby of morality and compassion, perfect for easing you into a night of deep, restful sleep. As we stroll through the austere streets of a Puritan colony, we'll accompany Hester Prynne, a woman whose embroidered scarlet "A" becomes a powerful emblem of sin and societal judgment. But as the night deepens, so does our understanding of Hester's quiet dignity and the complexities of her community that both condemns and upholds her. So, snuggle up in your blankets and have sweet dreams. 

The music in this episode is A Love That Once Was by Gavin Luke.
