Sometimes gratitude gives us an existential crisis. In this Solo Sessions episode, Ray Hartsfield explores how contemplations of thankfulness can lead to recognizing privilege in all its forms, and how we often give ourselves way too much credit for our own creative achievements. To what extent are we even in control of our own fates? And if we are not totally in control, how can we better understand the lives of others? Ray frames this discourse about gratitude by reflecting on his own spiritual beliefs and how they intersect with his creative endeavors.
