The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Victoria Chang writes\\u2026 "As the years have gone by since my mother\\u2019s passing, since my father\\u2019s passing, something else has bloomed unexpectedly, which is a connection with others who have experienced deep loss. The details of other people\\u2019s losses are always different, but the feelings are familiar. These shared experiences are the things that tie us to each other. I\\u2019ve learned that to see and share our experiences with others is to be alive and in the world."
