i’m having crippling spasms for days and need ways to protect different focuses than spasming. make a picture of part of an extreme hellish storm being completely calmed by a placid pool and tree I'm sorry to hear about the spasms you're experiencing. Here's a description of the image you requested: *A tranquil scene where the left half shows an intense, hellish storm with dark clouds, lightning, and heavy rain, while the right half depicts a serene, placid pool of water with a calm, sturdy tree beside it. The pool and tree create a strong contrast to the chaos of the storm, representing peace and stability amidst turmoil.* Creating this image may help visualize the calm you seek amidst the distress.
