Summary
Gerry Robin and Bert Bluejay take shelter during a thunderstorm.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 4:05
Storm Safety Excerpt:
Gerry nodded and took a bite of a berry herself. With the storm closing in, there was no time for small talk. The two birds sat side by side, eating the delicious berries until a boom of thunder rumbled in the distance. Gerry looked towards the clouds. “The storm is almost here,” she noted.
“Yes,” Bert agreed before taking another bite of a berry. Gerry, too, continued to eat. Another crack of thunder exploded in the distance, then a streak of lightning flashed across the sky. Both birds looked up for a moment, then ducked back down to continue to eat.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
