The places

Everywhere the water goes

Eighteen places, and every one goes to sleep in its own way — the stream stops babbling sound first, the lake becomes a perfect mirror, the sea goes flat and mirrors the Sleepy Lights. Pick a place and see everything set there.

The route

Eight stops, in the order water travels. How far you got is how long you took.

Moss Land

Home. Everyone in it is quietly getting sleepy

The Sleepy Forest

Where the trees close their eyes one branch at a time

The Sleepy Springs

Where the water begins, coming out of the ground

The Snoozy Stream

The willow and the crossing. Never “Sleepy Stream”

The Sleepy Waterfall

Where the water slows to a murmur and stays there

The Sleepy Lake

You cannot see the other side

The Starlit Shore

Stars in the water. The threshold between the lake and the sea

The Sleepy Sea

It breathes. Heard, never arrived at

The sibling hollows

The same hollow, four ways — moonlight, warm rain, snow, and up in the cloud tops.

The Moonlit Hollow

A sibling hollow, off the route, under a full moon

The Rainfall Hollow

The same hollow, in warm rain

The Snowfall Hollow

The same hollow, under snow

The Cloud Meadow

The same hollow, up in the cloud tops

Home, and the high places

Where the sleeping actually happens, and the sky it happens under.

Tardy’s Home

The mushroom house at the end of the path

Tardy’s Bedroom

Where the arrival actually happens — never on screen

The Crescent Moon

Up where the stars go out one by one

Space

Thirty years asleep and none the worse for it

Lair Bear’s Cave

Warm, dark and safe, for the very longest sleeps

The daytime corner

Mossland by day — for breathing, and for mornings.

Mindful Meadows

The daytime corner of Moss Land, for breathing and for mornings
