Today\\u2019s poem is The Half-Finished Heaven by Tomas Transtr\\xf6mer.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 "Contemporary art and poetry encourage uncertainty and a spirit of inquiry. If we are willing to let go of our frustration, abandoning the quest for meaning can be its own spiritual reward. Today\\u2019s extraordinary poem constructs a fascinating and dreamy space where images sharpen into an immense and profound notion of the land and human interdependence."
