The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes\u2026 \u201cThe last time I camped, a wolf\u2019s howl gave me chills; it brought me closer to some primitive ancestor. I fell asleep to fantasies of leading a pack through boreal forest. The last time I camped, I gazed on evening stars blinking their wondrous code, jeweling the dark sky.\u201d
