1295: Wind Ode by Sharon Olds

Today’s poem is Wind Ode by Sharon Olds. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.

In this episode, guest host Maggie Smith writes… “Today’s poem is an ode, a poem of praise or celebration. It reminds me that attention is a form of love. If you love the world, give it the gift of your attention. Don’t be afraid to get up close, to look deeper, to go inside. To reach out and touch, to smell, to engage your senses. We’re only here on this planet for a short time. We might as well soak up every last bit.”
