In this deeply insightful and humorously profound podcast, artist Maira Kalman explores the absurdities of life and finds joy in its seemingly mundane moments.

Her talk, interwoven with her delightful paintings, serves as a unique artwork that encapsulates life’s frailties, contradictions, and joys.

The Joy of Ordinary Conversations

Daily conversations can serve as a beacon of inspiration.

Engaging in light-hearted discussions about life’s purpose and other philosophical questions can be more fulfilling than dwelling on somber topics.

Embracing Life’s Fragility

Reading obituaries over strong coffee may seem morose but it serves as a reminder of life’s fragility.

This awareness prompts one to seize each day fully and find solace in small wins like solving problems or overcoming challenges.

‘Every single day is invented.’ – Maira Kalman
