Today’s poem is Birthday Wish by David Groff.

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today’s poem muses on different kinds of knowing without privileging one over the other. What we know vs. what animals know vs. what plants know, for instance. I think of us humans as being on a need-to-know basis, and this poem reminds me that we don’t need to know—or be—everything."
