The Tucked-In Psalm

For everyone ready to be tucked in by an ancient song: The Tucked-In Psalm spends two hours and nineteen minutes in blanket-warm blessing — opening, the front door is latched, breath like a rocking chair, a psalm for tired hands, laying down the day, thanking the warm kitchen, down the hallway of hush, softening the brow, the kettle's low song, a psalm for the worried mind, forgiving the hurried hours, gratitude for the table, sinking into the feather bed, loosening the shoulders, breath like falling snow, a psalm for the whole house, pardoning small stumbles, thanking the hands that helped, drifting down the staircase of sleep, the lamp turned low, breath like distant bells, a psalm for weary feet, releasing old arguments, gratitude for water and bread, floating down the dark river, softening the arms, breath like a sleeping cat, a psalm for the little ones, forgiving yourself softly, thanking the night itself, descending into the dream cellar, loosening the back and hips, and the closing rest — ending with the closing rest.

Two hours and nineteen minutes from opening to the closing rest, ending with the listener resting in held and kept peace. The script was developed with AI assistance and shaped by hand into one continuous night practice of being gathered in gently.
