10 Minute Sleepcast for Deep Sleep: Sleeper Mountain from Sleep by Headspace

night falls like a blanket over sleeper mountain shadows pour down its slopes caching and pooling beyond the boulders and trees and gathering in ravines and gullies as the Sun sets beyond the far ridge you can see how the mountain got its name seen in silhouette the ridge across from us looks like the profile of a sleeping man

you can make out the sharp point of his nose the round peak of his chin against the bright clouds picked out against the sky by the Setting Sun it's as though some giant chose this place to rest his body and slept and slept until in time he was grown over with trees and grass

browse in here for all eternity the mountain is cloaked in a stately quiet as if the world were mindful of the mountains name and had chosen not to waked there are cars on the highway down by the ocean just the other side of the ridge in fact and yet no sounds of traffic penetrate this canyons quiet

it's quiet but not silent if you listen carefully you can hear the creak of the wind and the trees and the click and crack of twigs in the stove out here on our deck the cicadas and the owls and other nighttime animals from here on the deck of our cabin which juts over the

hillside like the prow of a ship we have a great view there's a little flag at the edge of the deck and it lifts gently in the breeze its rope and pulley clinking instance pole the breeze is cool and soft like a well washed sheet night falls and the lights come on in

the two or three houses dotted on the mountains flank the stars to reveal themselves gradually there is none of the rush of city life things happen here at their own pace there's a kind of slow dignity to it all it's a great place to enjoy the sights and sounds to rest at the end of a busy day
