1377: The Crux by Megan Peak
Today’s poem is The Crux by Megan Peak. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “There were times when mothering felt overwhelming. I’m so glad we got through the too-muchness to get to this place. Now, I always want more of them. It’s funny how that works, isn’t it? For years I craved more freedom, more independence, and then, when I got it, part of me missed being so needed.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
