A Slow Boat on the Canal
Drifting past willows on still water as the evening fades.
Read by Theo
How it begins
Welcome... let your shoulders soften, let your body grow heavy, and get comfortable wherever you are resting tonight.
It is early evening, and you are on a narrow boat.
The boat is long and slim. It is painted a deep, quiet green, with a thin line of cream along its side. The roof is still warm from the afternoon sun. You are sitting near the back, beside the tiller, with a soft wool blanket over your knees.
Listen to the whole story in the Sleepy app, with quiet sounds underneath and a timer that fades out when it ends.
