1258: The Trees by Jericho Brown

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is The Trees by Jericho Brown. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.


In this episode, Major writes… “I love the calls and trills of warblers and rose-breasted grosbeaks, the rushing sound of a brook over stone, the irrational belief, some might say, of connecting with something larger. I start off sometimes in a spiritual crisis, but walk out spiritually cleansed. For this reason, the natural world over the years has become my lifesaving talisman.”
