854: To be brave, I look to the daffodil
b'
Today\\u2019s poem is To be brave, I look to the daffodil by Susan Nguyen. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 \\u201cI live in that between space of Play it safe and Go for it. I mostly proceed with caution but then again, foolishly, I brave activities that put life and limb at risk, like jumping off a cliff into an unknown depth of water. Literally and figuratively. I\\u2019ve never jumped out of an airplane, and I probably would be that guy who\\u2019d need to be pushed into a skydive. But I see writing poetry as equally not for the faint of heart.\\u201d
