    Sometimes it is hard for me to concentrate and read. The idea came to me to check and see if there was a UA-cam video with someone reading a beautiful morning prayer. This reading is fantastic and very soothing. I love Earl’s voice, and I love the background visual and sounds of the ocean, one of my favorite places in the whole world. Thank you, Earl, and God bless you for taking the time to create this video

    so many thoughts, feelings, fears, emotions, stresses
    arise for me, as I watch this video.
    here's just a few of the things
    I get flooded with:
    - emotional pain.
    - unbearable grief.
    - homicidal rage.
    - suicidal depression.
    - there's a person I sort of/kind of
    have a crush on, and the whole situation
    is beyond fucked and completely toxic,
    and I don't know how to get out...
    and if I DO get out,
    I have nothing.
    - I am a failure in every aspect of my life.
    - I'm old now, the future is hopeless...
    - I recall the past and it fills me with rage.
    - I live in poverty.
    - fat/diabetic.
    - how the fuck am I going to change my life around?
    - perpetually single, without friends (my whole life).
    - C-PTSD/INFJ/HSP
    - people I love, got that horrific c-19 jab and I am terrified for them.
    - panic panic panic...
