Season 3, episode 11: everyday magic

What if the most important thing we do isn’t doing at all, but noticing?

— Meridian Watters

In each life stage, we’re asked what we do, or what we’re going to be—but what if the question became not what we do, but who we hope to become and how we bring everyday magic to life’s everyday pain? From the Musee D’Orsay in Paris to wartime Baghdad to a flower farm in South Carolina, today’s episode is an exploration of how beauty can save us when we need it most.
