    Luda the wild horse wants to stay up late with her sister Lana and watch the full moon…but will the weather hold up?

    Narrator: Female

    Story Begins: 3:43

    Misty Moon Excerpt:

    Luda Horse opened her eyes and stretched her long neck. Then she shook out her mane. It had gotten a little dewy, but it was beginning to dry. The young horse smiled as she felt the warmth of the morning sun on her back.

    Luda looked over at her sister, Lana, who was standing beside her. Lana was gazing up at the pale blue sky.

    “Look at the moon,” Lana said with wonder in her voice.

    Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “A Not-Boring Evening,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:10 A Not-Boring Evening Excerpt: It was a rainy evening on Ahway Island. Rogelio sat on the couch in the family room and sighed. He felt bored. He had felt bored all afternoon. Rogelio had asked his friends, Owen and Andy, if they wanted to come over and play, but they were both busy. It was too rainy outside to go out and play in the yard or in the park, so he had watched some TV instead. Now that dinner was over, Rogelio didn’t know what to do. He was tired of watching TV; he preferred doing more active things. Today’s Meditation: Imagine drawing gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you relax before today’s story.

    Ep 1030. A Friendly Race: a soothing bedtime story and relaxation
    Mar 25 2026

    Eddie and Luis are out for a sail when they spot some friends in another boat. It’s time for a friendly race!

    Narrator: Female

    Story Begins: 3:31

    A Friendly Race Excerpt:

    They sailed smoothly across the shimmering water, farther and farther out to sea. Luis felt the cool sea air ruffle his hair and the salty ocean spray on his cheeks.

    Mr. deSouza pointed ahead. “Look there – another sailboat,” he said.

    “Dad! Can we race them?” Eddie asked.

    Mr. deSouza smiled and winked in response, then began angling the sail so it could catch a bit more of the breeze. The boat began gliding toward the other sailboat, faster and faster. They zipped across the waves, rolling over the crests and splashing down in the valleys.

    Today’s Meditation: Imagine drawing gentle shapes in the soothing sand as you relax before today’s story.
