My Cold Core (CC)

In this meditative journey, Henrik invites us into the depths of winter at Adventure Wolf, his studio sanctuary, where he contemplates the persistent cold that seems to take root within his very being. Through his characteristic stream of consciousness, he explores the concept of his "cold core" (CC) - a metaphysical space where frost meets philosophy. As the episode unfolds, Henrik weaves together the story of his own birth in the sweltering summer of 1975, painting a vivid portrait of his parents' journey: a racist taxi driver, his mother's fierce determination, and his father's solitary processing of becoming a parent while sharing whiskey and cigars with the summer air.The narrative dances between the physical and metaphysical, as Henrik contemplates the nature of experience itself - how moments are never purely one thing or another, but rather a complex tapestry of emotions and perspectives. Through stories of his family's trials and triumphs, including his siblings' health challenges and the beautiful circle of life continuing through his niece's pregnancy, Henrik explores the multifaceted nature of love, fear, and parenthood.This episode is a tender reflection on the complexity of human experience, challenging the notion that any emotion or moment can be simplified into a single narrative. As Henrik's thoughts meander like a stream finding its path, we're reminded that sometimes the most profound truths lie in embracing the contradictions and complexities of our lived experiences.
