I'm Maggie Smith and this is the slowdown.

Thank you. And this is The Slowdown. I think attention is a form of love.

I know this as a parent, a friend, a teacher, and a poet.

So many of my poems were made possible only because I took the time to look at my surroundings,

listen to the wind and the birds, touch leaves to know their textures, breathe deeply to describe what the

autumn air smelled like. Being sensitive, attuned, observant, these things don't just improve

your writing. They improve your life. I know this, but knowing it doesn't mean it's easy for me to stay tuned in and attentive in the moment.

My attention is also constantly tugged at by the stuff of life, and I know I'm not alone in that.

You feel the tugs, too, the tug of deadlines, the tug of endless emails, my inbox never

stops tugging.

The tug of children and school and family obligations, the tugs of to-do lists and errands.

The present is full of distractions, but it's more than that.
