Speaker 1: Us Studios. Good evening, dear quiet dreamer. This is the
Speaker 1: hour when the day begins to soften, and the light
Speaker 1: outside your window is letting go of gold. The birds
Speaker 1: have quieted, the neighbor's door has finally closed. The air
Speaker 1: itself seems to be exhaling, and you are invited to
Speaker 1: exhale with it. There is a part of you that
Speaker 1: has been quietly holding pictures all day. Pictures of what
Speaker 1: could be, of what might be, of what you wish
Speaker 1: were true, Pictures of small futures and quiet hopes, pictures
Speaker 1: of the person you are still becoming. That part of
Speaker 1: you is still awake even now, even as the world
Speaker 1: gets quieter around you. This part is not demanding. It
Speaker 1: does not need you to draw a map, or write
Speaker 1: a plan or make a list. It only needs you
Speaker 1: to notice that it is there, and to thank it
Speaker 1: for continuing to hope in your name, even when the
Speaker 1: day was long. You have been carrying the dreamer inside
Speaker 1: you for a very long time. Some of those dreams
Speaker 1: you have already lived into, and you can feel the
Speaker 1: warmth of them as you settle into this evening. Some
Speaker 1: of them have changed shape, becoming gentler or smaller, or
Speaker 1: more tender than you first imagined, and some are still
Speaker 1: just a feeling, a soft tug in your chest, a
Speaker 1: glance towards something you cannot quite name. All of them
Speaker 1: belong to you, even the ones you have given up on,
Speaker 1: even the ones you are a little embarrassed to admit
Speaker 1: you still carry, even the ones you have folded up
Speaker 1: so quietly that you barely remember. They are there. They
Speaker 1: are yours, and they have been faithful to you, even
Speaker 1: when you forgot they were there. This evening. You do
Speaker 1: not have to do anything about them. You do not
Speaker 1: have to take a step, or make a decision, or
Speaker 1: push a single project forward. You only have to let
Speaker 1: them live alongside you for a little while, like a
Speaker 1: kindle in the next room, like a friend who is
Speaker 1: reading by the window, like a song that is still
Speaker 1: playing somewhere down the hall. The dreamer in you is
Speaker 1: not in a hurry. The dreamer has waited for you
Speaker 1: your whole life. The dreamer will wait a little longer,
Speaker 1: lighting a small lamp in the part of your heart
Speaker 1: that believes in possibilities, in small kindnesses, in the slow
Speaker 1: unfolding of a life that is still becoming. It is
Speaker 1: safe to rest now even with the dreams still glowing,
Speaker 1: It is safe to close your eyes and let the
Speaker 1: day end, knowing that the dreaming will continue without your effort.
Speaker 1: The dreamer is awake while you are not, and that
Speaker 1: is exactly how it should be. Your job tonight is
Speaker 1: only to rest. The dreamer will keep the watch. So
Speaker 1: hettle in, dear quiet dreamer. Let the evening hold you,
Speaker 1: Let the soft pictures keep watch. You do not have
Speaker 1: to figure anything out to night. You only have to
Speaker 1: be here and to trust that the dreamer is doing
Speaker 1: its quiet work faithfully, Gently on your behalf. Good night,
Speaker 1: dear quiet dreamer. The light is dim. Now you are held,
Speaker 1: you are hoping, You are already on your way.
