My nights are hard and cold.

But more and more, I feel alive with everyone who approaches me.

The people at the donut shops, the police officers, the live drivers on a break.

Sometimes spending a few hours or even a few minutes with them, it's a matter of life

and death.

Just stopping.

Just listening.

For over five decades, every single evening between the Lonesome, Strange and sometimes

Mystical Hours of Ten and Four, the clergy members of the San Francisco Night Ministry

have walked the streets of the city by the bay.

Their job isn't to proselytise or feed the hungry.

They're there to offer something even more fundamental.

Though for Rev. Monique or Tees, it takes a while before she realises what.

In this episode of Meditative Story, Rev. Monique leads us through a side of the city most

will never know.

Over the years, logging thousands of wet, hilly miles, she develops relationships unlike

any she has in daylight hours, relationships with people in desperate straits and arguably

a new relationship with her own soul as well.

In this series we combine immersive first-person stories and breathtaking music, with the

science-backed benefits of mindfulness practice.

From Wait What, this is Meditative Story.

I'm Rohan and I'll be your guide.
