Yma Dream
Here is a wonderful short story Yma Dream written by Thomas Meehan.
When you have a few minutes to sit back and relax, listen to it.
The reading you are about to hear is by Christine Baranski and was broadcast on NPR's Selected Shorts series

The Box
This is a simple but profound poem The Box, written by Kendrew Lascelles.
It was poignant and popular in the 1960's and just as relevent today.
