Shawn and David wrap up their series on the journey of Odin, from his birth to his death at Ragnarök. This week they focus primarily on what they consider to be an older Odin contemplating his life and mortality, and ask the question "Did Odin die a good death?" when swallowed by the wolf, Fenrir. The pair also discuss the idea of meditating on one's death and how we as humans can recognize the fact that we will die, but use that fact to enjoy life more as opposed to leading to an extreme existential dread in the years leading up to it. David also sings a lullaby in German? Announcements: David is starting a mindfulness group.
