Today’s poem is Through a closed mouth the flies enter by Pablo Neruda. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Shira Erlichman writes… “Knowing is often heralded as more valuable than not knowing. So questions become an underground currency for those of us that appreciate a different way of being. Today’s poem understands that if a question is a jawbreaker you turn over and over, at its center is not an answer, but humility.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
