Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Before the Infant.  Before the Throne.  There was a sperm, an egg, a single cell then two.  This is a letter written to this two.

A man writes a letter to his younger self at the point of conception. Dear Chip – Chapter One is a fiction-as-self-therapy origin story: zinc sparks, cosmic eggs, parts-work, and the simple compass to live and to love. Blending science, myth, and psychology, this intelligent and provocative meditation challenges how we think about beginnings and what it means to be alive. It invites listeners to reimagine their own origin story with curiosity, courage, and wonder.
