The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is From the Sky by Sara Abou Rashed. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.


In this episode, Maggie writes, “When I think about ways to foster empathy, perspective, and care, one of those ways is poetry. I know poetry can’t stop bombs from falling, and it can’t feed the starving, and it can’t evacuate people to safety. I know this. But poetry can change our inner world. We need that change, one person at a time. We need to reclaim our humanity.”
