Our story tonight is called Little Harmonies, and it’s a story about small bits of ordinary magic that happen everyday. It’s also about new specials at the coffee shop, tulip bulbs, and a dog met at the mailbox. Notes jotted down in a journal, and the feeling that you’ve tuned into a special frequency that you might have missed before.

Full Episode
Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and then you fall asleep. I'm Katherine Nicolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens. Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. Now since every episode is someone's first let me say something about how this works. When your mind is gently engaged sleep is more accessible.
You know this if you've ever been unable to keep your eyes open. when reading in bed at night. But then, what happens? You click off the light, slip down into your sheets, and suddenly you're wide awake again. It's because that gentle engagement went away. So just by listening, we will keep that element in place. And before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow feeling rested and relaxed.
I'll tell our bedtime story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

Okay, time to turn off the lights. Set down devices and get as comfortable as you can.
Let it sink in that you are in bed and about to fall asleep. Maybe this is a moment you've been waiting for all day, and now it's here. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose and sigh. Again, fill it up and let it out with sound.
Good. Little harmonies. I'd been noting them down in my journal lately.
Anytime I noticed a little echo in my day, some small moment when something was mirrored, a thought I'd had appearing in the real world, a word I'd just learned uttered by a stranger at the next table in a cafe.
A song stuck in my head before bed, playing when I started up the car. Those little harmonies feel like magic to me, like catching a glimpse of the internal wiring of the universe. and a friend had suggested that I start writing them down. She said she did, and it helped keep a feeling of awe and amazement fresh in her mind.
