Description
Best. Therapist. Ever. -- -I use ⁠Emotion Wheel III: Uncomfortable Emotions ⁠in this episode -All the music in this episode has been sourced from ⁠this incredibly therapeutic playlist Ultimate Calm⁠, compiled by Ólafur Arnalds. Thanks Ólafur! -The cover art for this episode was generated by DALL-E from the following prompt: “The Scottish Anglican cleric ⁠Henry Francis Lyte⁠ is dying, and while he dies, having been given some LSD by one of his congregants, he creates the masterpiece "Abide with Me" which will give solace to millions of people in generations to come. Create a painting of this mythical moment in the style of Hieronymus Bosch. Incorporate the core philosophy of the hymn "Abide With Me" in your painting." Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Life with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Love, abide with me. -Henry Francis Lyte
