    While exploring a wide-range of subject matter with viewers such as lighthouses, grocery stores, self-healing materials, how to pack a lunch, and Milwaukee men’s fashion, a choir teacher in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula uses his summer break to attempt something big - growing an arch of beans.

    I like what Joe Pera does to my brain. After getting in sync with his way of thinking, I find myself absolutely fascinated with that green door. The sound it makes when he knocks, and the dramatic noise of it opening. How old it must be and all the people that have walked through it, thanks for that Joe!

      I get the same mental state as when i used to watch Captain Kangaroo as a little kid and one of the characters would cut away for a film short every now and then and it would be about some person doing a job and explaining what they do or they would show visiting some place and narrate what was going on or just clips of kids running around playing.
      A real zone out state of mind like watching Mister Rogers show also, same kind of mind state, like a meditative buzzing watching their touring factories and shops showing how things were made and how different occupations did their jobs.
      The voice tones and cadence were a big part of it also, Joe can get into that particular hypnotic restful frequency when talking about things.
      The older i got the less able i was to get into that state of mind. My depression problem also seems to hinder it.
      I guess people that do the AMSR or whatever that is, they describe that similarly as the mental relax feeling as im talking about.

    I've watched Joe's poem "Fall" and this one. Maybe Joe can read us more poems? I think it could be ep 3 of Tall You To Sleep with soothing ambience as well!

    That story does not end with *"I don't".*
    I'm currently reading *"Lighthouse"* by the late Tony Parker. Wonderful book.
