The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 \\u201cWhen summer arrives, I run as fast as I can into its lushness. I am making new memories with family and friends that involve nights of alfresco dining, remote beaches, mountain ranges, and sun-drenched cocktail parties. Summer is the season that beckons most my senses; all that fruit bursting its wild colors: strawberries, apricots, and peaches. Whereas winter feels interminable, I am most aware summer\\u2019s bounty is numbered, finite.\\u201d Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
