Episode 2: World of Magic
Today I introduce a creative prompt from the book "How to be an Explorer of the World" by the talented Keri Smith.
Find 5 objects throughout your day today, and give them a fictional story. Attach a magical meaning to them.
I found a handful of magical dirt, which animals on the ground are now pollinating all over the city. When it is placed in an area that has a high concentration of unhappiness, out sprouts lush gardens and rainbow benches, inviting people to sit on and connect.
