Today’s poem is Practicing by Ciona Rouse.
The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We’ll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we’re going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón’s time as host. Today’s episode was originally released on May 18, 2022.
In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “I’ve always been interested in how we plan for the future. I try to put a little money away now and again for a rainy day as they say. I try to imagine future scenarios to see if I am prepared. But if the last three years have taught me anything, it’s that I cannot be prepared for all the scenarios. Life is full of terrific… and terrifying surprises. I never know what’s coming next. I can only be here at this moment and try to be somewhat flexible.”
