I grab bits of string, paper, cardboard.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with them, but I start arranging them and rearranging them. I start taping string to a tin can over and over, one piece of string at a time.

Professional land artist, John Foreman creates incredible works of art out of sand, leaves and other natural materials in the environment.

But his impressive ability to see creative potential all around him is tested when as a teenager he has to become more narrowly focused on his responsibilities.

In today's episode, John shares the story of learning that the world's creative potential

is always all around us, waiting for us, whenever our lives

open us up to it.

In this series, we combine immersive first-person stories, breathtaking music, and mindfulness

prompts so that we may see our lives reflected back to us in other people's stories.

I'm interested in designing creative ways to pass the time.
