A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest.

Creating a Moment of Joy by Jelene Brackey is a powerful book that helps us find hope when engaging with individuals living with a dementia diagnosis. The chaper that we encounter today is "Not Forgotten" which reminds us that even though our family member or friend may not regognize our face or be able to verbalize our name and relationship to them, they remember how we made them feel. Jolene also explains that sometimes individuals may be able to remember tones of voice. This chapter gives great examples of how to change the way you approach your parent, sibing or spouse if they are able to recall and recognize your voice.
