Today’s poem is ACT! pose with fingers as though cigarette (puff puff) by India Lena González. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.

In this episode, Major writes… “If I could change careers as an artist, I’d likely want to become an actor — something about all those voices and the power of speaking in relationship to my feelings and those of others — to have all those characters bouncing around in my body.”
