I like the concept of you

In this episode, Henrik weaves an intricate tapestry of human existence through a collection of imagined lives, each one a reflection of our shared desire to be more than what the world expects of us. From a Mumbai call center operator who performs midnight poetry for stray cats, to a dentist who transforms extracted teeth into tiny animal sculptures, Henrik explores the beautiful duality that exists within all of us. As he navigates through these stories, he contemplates the nature of existence itself, touching upon themes of birth, consciousness, and the perpetual miracle of new life entering our world every second.The episode takes an unexpectedly tender turn as Henrik reflects on newborn babies and their pure state of being - completely receptive, without defenses or pretenses. Through this meditation on new life, he connects with that core essence that exists within all of us, that vulnerable, beautiful state of simply being that we carried within us from our very first moments.As Henrik crafts these portraits of humanity, he reveals his own vulnerabilities and dreams, including his determination to reach one million listeners despite skepticism from others. His gentle determination and authentic voice create a safe space for listeners to drift away, much like falling asleep at a friend's house while they continue their gentle monologue into the night.For more information on Henrik Ståhl, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Become a supporting member and listen to ad free episodes at: https://plus.acast.com/s/falli-asleep-with-henrik.
