Ep 962. Let’s Listen: a bedtime story and meditation

Wilbur Dog wants a quiet morning at the dog park, but Zip Yorkie won't stop yapping! Will Zip learn to listen? Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:01 Let’s Listen Excerpt: It was a peaceful Spring morning on Ahway Island. The sun had just woken up from its slumber. It was still quite early, so not many people were out and about; the neighborhood was all quiet. This was perfectly acceptable to Wilbur dog. Wilbur loved mornings like this, when the sun was warm but not too hot, and everything felt peaceful. That meant he and his human Sam could enjoy the lovely day at dog park without distraction. Wilbur liked to take his time, sniffing the air and listening to the world around him. Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.
