If you've ever felt like you're just barely surviving, you should probably know that you've never "just" survived. Survival takes guts and it's damn impressive! This reflective episode is a little bit H.G. Wells, a little bit "Reading Rainbow" read-aloud, and a little bit Toni Morrison because what would we have ever done without Toni?

As mentioned in the episode:

• "We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.” -H. G. Wells
• "At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough." -Toni Morrison
