Small Kindnesses

Gentle Stories for Deep Sleep

15 stories · 3 hr 19 min · on YouTube since 31 August 2026

Fifteen gentle stories to carry you into sleep, each one a little slower, and a little quieter, than the one before. Warm tales of small kindnesses: a meal shared with a stranger, a pantry quietly refilled, a light left on for whoever needs it. By the final story you're no longer following a narrative, just floating in it.
