The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily
Arts:Performing Arts
Today’s poem is Chaos Theory by Clint Smith.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Occasionally, I try to follow the series of decisions that led me to this present, however triumphant or painful. My life wavers between fate and destiny. But then again, poetry brings me to the belief that some mysterious force is at work, below, that unveils a spiritually deeper meaning to it all."
