The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes\u2026 \u201cPoetry negotiates that space between our inner life and the relational world we share with others. Magically, we make plain what we feel and observe to convey what some might call a soul. I often describe poetry as a mirror that reflects back our interiority.
