The Pond Doesn't Age | Bedtime Story for Adults | Sleepy Grandpa

There's a small lake in Wisconsin that Grandpa Oxley has been coming back to since he was fourteen years old. The water goes flat at dusk. The frogs start up. Two skies — one above, one below. Tonight he sits with that pond for a while. And with the summer of 1972. And with everything the years put in that water. Pull up that blanket and get comfortable. There's nowhere you need to be tonight. 🌙 Save this for bedtime. NOTE: I'm a new channel and don't control ads yet.

The dock. The dusk light going amber, then copper, then dark. A co-ed summer camp in 1972, when the world felt like it was moving underneath everything. And the reunion visits across the decades, including one August evening he brought someone with him for the first time. The pond doesn't age. He does. That's the whole of it. ───────────────────────────── 🎧 BEST ENJOYED ───────────────────────────── Headphones or a quiet room · Lights low or off · Blanket strongly recommended ───────────────────────────── 📂 PLAYLISTS ───────────────────────────── All Episodes →   / @sleepygrandpachannel   ───────────────────────────── ☕ BUY GRANDPA A COFFEE ───────────────────────────── If you'd like to support the channel, you can buy Grandpa a cup of chamomile at the link below.
