In the midst of the plain beige walls and the antique furniture mom inherited from grandma,

one corner of the room has been painted bright blue.

It looks like it was painted quickly.

Just one coat with a roller.

It's not quite turquoise.

It's a deeper blue, like the sky.

Mounted in this blue corner hanging from little wires,

hundreds of butterflies. All different colors. A bit of sunlight

shines through their translucent, fibrous wings as they explode out of this cerulean

portal. It's dazzling.

Almost from birth. pastry chef Duff Goldman is driven by his desire to create and put things out into the world,

whether it's as a wayward teenage street artist or a successful baker on the food network. He strives to deliver a visceral

sensation that's hard to express in words alone. This week, Duff shares the story of how the things

we create often communicate our thoughts and feelings much more clearly that we otherwise could with words.

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. And that can lead to

improvements in our own inner lives. From wait to what, this is meditative story. I'm Rohan,

and I'll be your guide.

The body relaxed.

The body breathing.

Your senses open.

Your mind open.
