Today's poem is from "The Crystal Text" by Clark Coolidge. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on July 2 2024. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Poetry negotiates that space between our inner life and the relational world we share with others. Magically, we make plain what we feel and observe to convey what some might call a soul. I often describe poetry as a mirror that reflects back our interiority. But today's poem wonders if such perspective is even possible, given that we barely know who we are — making the enterprise of connection through art deeply indeterminate and delicate.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Exploring the importance of organic fertilizers.In This Podcast: Tony shares his background in the nursery business and the accidental discovery that led him to develop his organic fertilizer, Tony's Magic Mix. He discusses the ingredients and scientific principles behind the fertilizer, focusing on soil health and balanced plant nutrients. Tony recounts success stories, such as record avocado harvests and thriving gardens in harsh climates like Phoenix and emphasizes the importance of promoting a healthy soil biome with organic fertilizers. Tony also talks about his personal journey, including past business failures, the success of his current business, and the support from his family. Tony concludes with a recommendation for spending time outdoors and enjoying the magic of nature.Our Guest: Tony has been in the nursery industry starting in his father's business at the age of three. He was destined to be a horticulturist. He started working in a nursery as a teenager and studied marine biology and climatology in college. Then returned to horticulture to study ace genetics, plant breeding, weed science and soil fertility. With so many new organic fertilizers on the market he trialed as many as possible to give honest feedback to his customers. This led him to spend several years mixing different ingredients by hand in a five gallon buckets to give samples to his clients to test. Magically the local garden groups named it Tony's Magic Mix.Tony's Book - Old Man In the Sea, by Ernest HemingwayVisit UrbanFarm.org/EarthOriginalOrganics for the show notes and links on this episode!

Welcome to Season 10 of All the Feelings, where your hosts Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III take you on a guided tour of that weird liminal space between “I should know better by now” and “Why does filling out a W-2 feel like a personality test written by Kafka?”In this premiere episode, the subject is Money, starting with the slow-burning crisis of homeownership. Tommy—staunch apartment loyalist and occasional demon extractor—wonders if owning property is still the pinnacle of adult success, or just another gatekeeping tradition propped up by 1940s mortgage policy and peer pressure from ghosts. Pete, long-time homeowner and accidental handyman, walks us through the real cost of grass, siding, and painting things that no landlord will pay for.Then, it's Tax Time: the annual gauntlet where America's adults cosplay as accountants and hope they don't accidentally confess to fraud. If you've ever had to Google “What is MAGI?” and gotten answers involving sorcery or the Nativity, this episode is for you. Pete recounts his annual ritual of fiscal shame and digital form-filling dread, and Tommy offers a scathing comparison between the IRS and the HOV lane—both of which function primarily through fear.Along the way, we explore the emotional toll of systems that are designed to be opaque, the quiet panic of feeling unqualified to do basic grown-up things, and why the true cost of adulthood might just be your confidence. Spoiler: No one really knows what they're doing. Even Einstein.

How does oak aging change wine and whisky flavour, colour and texture? What do glass, gears, and automatons have to do with the invention of distillation? Why is yeast such an essential tool in scientific research and wine production, especially in the face of climate change? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Adam Rogers, author of the New York Times bestseller Proof: The Science of Booze. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Giveaway One of you is going to win a copy of his terrific new book, Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose one person randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights What are some of the traits that new yeasts are being developed for? Why does sugar deserve the title of most important molecule in the world? How is human saliva used in the production of Chicha, one of the oldest types of alcoholic beverage? What is microbial terroir and how does it affect the flavour profile of fermented drinks? Why does Adam describe distillation as the apotheosis of human life on Earth? How does the process of distillation work? What is the most important thing we can learn from the alchemists? Is the shape of a distillation still important to the process? What's happening to spirits while they're aging in barrels? Have there been successful innovations to age wine and spirits more quickly? Why do some people lose their sense of smell after a concussion? Key Takeaways When you're drinking whisky, and it's that beautiful amber color, that's all from the wood. It's completely clear when it goes into a barrel and it's brown when it comes out. So color is part of what changes, and all those flavours. In the process of aging, as the temperature goes up and down, the pores in the wood open and close. As they open, the liquid gets drawn into that layer inside of the wood, and then gets pushed back out. So there's this kind of back-and-forth process, which is why so many of the experimental attempts to accelerate the aging process use heat to try to cycle it faster. Distillation was developed in the first two to 300 years of the Common Era. People were starting to transform naturally occurring phenomena into a technology that could exist in a temple or in the home. Distillation is one of those technologies, along with a lot of automatons and the simple machines, gears, screws and the steam engines. Yeasts are a workhorse organism in laboratories because it's very easy to change their traits and genetics. They share DNA with each other, and when they grow, they mutate very quickly. Generation to generation change. So you can use classic animal or microbial husbandry techniques to change them as well. This can become especially important as climate change changes the regions that are important to wine. About Adam Rogers Adam Rogers is a senior correspondent at Business Insider, where he writes about technology, culture, and the ways they overlap. Prior to joining BI, Adam was a longtime editor and writer at WIRED, where his article “The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress” was the second-most-read thing on the entire internet in 2015. Adam's WIRED feature story on a mysterious fungus that grows on whisky warehouses won a AAAS/Kavli science journalism award — and led to his 2014 New York Times bestseller Proof: The Science of Booze. Adam is also the author of the 2021 book Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is sharing ‘Magical Healing 101'. Exploring her perspective on how to heal our body's physical pains by entering an initiation into our witch and learning to harness alternative healing ‘magic', she invites listeners into a new ‘worldview' of healing science and art that contrasts to the ‘mainstream' way. Nicole discusses her own journey with pains like chronic fatigue, menstrual pains - endometriosis - and thyroid imbalances, exploring ‘allopathic' versus ‘holistic' healing, emphasising the need to illuminate underlying causes of physical pains. In this episode Nicole explores the importance of expressing our uniqueness (rather than suppressing ourselves, which is the ‘cause' of disease), explaining some universal laws. She invites you to claim your power to heal yourself, sharing how we can do that by learning to work with our ‘inner apothecary' of archetypal remedies, and offering some ‘practical' steps to begin this - along with an invitation to reclaim your self-healing power. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Mainstream medicine (allopathy) differs in its worldview about ‘quick fix' healing to alternative, holistic approaches which focus on unsuppressing our souls and principles of ‘like cures like' Because of that, mainstream medicine can struggle to heal ‘mysterious' pains that are really pointing us towards the deeper, root-cause underlying patterns The Witch can help us to reclaim our power - our pains are often unseen ‘initiations' into our self-healing gifts - and a deeper understanding of ourselves True healing requires us to not suppress, but address underlying emotional and psychological causes that manifest physical symptoms Archetypal Remedies offer both a psychological and physical map to our healing - and learning to harness our ‘inner apothecary' of remedies can empower us to heal ourselves This requires an openness to a new worldview, perhaps a slower pace of healing - and being willing to be in the messiness of discovery - which we can feel resistance to in a world where we've been taught there's a ‘quick fix', but it's worth it when it truly heals us Resources and things that we spoke about: Join our Secret Witch's Apothecary Membership: Register your Interest here: https://www.nicolebarton.co.uk/membership Our Social Links: Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@archetypalapothecary Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamnicolebarton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/archetypalapothecary/ You Tube - https://www.youtube.com/@secretwitchsociety Join our free Secret Witch Sisterhood: http://www.facebook.com/groups/secretwitch Website: http://www.nicolebarton.co.uk Youtube Episode: https://youtu.be/PXfhplul4zc Thank you for listening, we'd love to know what comes alive for you in this week's episode, so please let us know.

Mattman's Conspiracy Mystery returns, this time with a guest; was she abducted? Magically healed? She reveals all and we decide for ourselves what really happened
Widower gets a special visitor on Christmas Eve.By PaulStevens. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy stories. Dan felt like a small child, sitting up watching his phone for alerts that his midnight delivery had arrived. It was like he was waiting for Santa or something, well in his case, more like a Mrs. Claus. Not that Elly was as saintly as the real Mrs. Claus, but she was getting him out of a jam with his 9-year-old daughter this year, and that made her saintly enough.In Jane's last difficult months of life, Elly was her faithful friend. In the months since Dan lost Jane, Elly continued to help him navigate the challenges of raising 2 kids alone.For Elly, it was a blessed distraction from her own failing marriage.Finally, Dan heard his phone buzz, and looked down to see the text; 'Here', on his screen. He hopped up and went to his garage and let Elly in the side door, before leading her into his shop, where he knew they would not be overheard, should someone be awake & snooping."Evening Elly, did you get my delivery?” Dan asked. “Everything look okay?""Yes, absolutely.” Elly said, cheerfully. “It looks fantastic, thank you so much for assembling that. You were a life saver, just sorry I missed you. Gracie will be thrilled when she sees it in the morning."Dan was mesmerized, staring at the glorious pair of jugs protruding from under Elly's red silk blouse. He quickly recovered himself. "Glad I can help! Assembling dollhouses I can do, clothes buying and fashion, not so much. Did you have any trouble at the mall?"Elly smiled, "Nope, as I told you, I was buying for Gracie and Josie anyways, picking up a few things for Samantha was no problem, and you do fine. Seriously, I'm not great at trends either, but at least they'll all match each other, so they can suffer together. I got some of Sam's stuff a size up from what you said by the way, her birthday isn't for ages, and she won't make it to the fall in the size she's in." Elly said handing Dan a stack of packages that, he noticed she had wrapped neatly for him, another thing off the list, tonight. “I hope you don't mind?”"Oh, not at all, I hadn't noticed, clothes were clearly not my department. Jane usually;" he stopped; thinking of his late wife; and fighting back the grief, "anyways, thanks.""Hey, Dan don't feel bad, like I said, you're doing great. These are minor things considering what you three have been through, given Jane's passing. Speaking of clothes, I also brought this," she held up a paper grocery bag, "for Owen, I noticed his clothes are getting a tad small, when I picked him up the other day. I had my sister put together some of my nephew's old clothes, these should hold you for a bit. If you want more; let me know, she's got plenty. She's just going to donate them, if you don't need them.""Wow, sounds great, and thanks for everything, Elly; you've been a life saver."Elly smiled, "right back at you Dan, if I had to hear from Charlie, one more time about how I can't handle a dollhouse because I can't use tools, I was going to scream. Not that I can't, I just had zero time or space to do that without ruining it for Gracie."Dan chuckled, "Charlie should know plenty about tools, that guy is the biggest one I've ever seen, how he ever got you, will always boggle my mind. As for the dollhouse, no problem. You should see the stuff in my living room, it looked like Santa's workshop in there, this month.""Umm; a workshop full of toys and Christmas eve delivery, you sure you're not Santa?" Elly winked."Late night gift delivery, perfectly wrapped I might add, thank you for that by the way, saved me time tonight. You sure you aren't Mrs. Claus?" He said, smiling."Nope, just a friend helping out a friend, and as for the wrapping, same with the buying I was on a roll, figured you wouldn't mind, besides, given I missed you tonight, it's the least I could do. I'm just glad my sister invited us to stay with her, so I could drop these by last minute.""So, you are at your sister's place for Christmas?""Yeah, Isabelle didn't want me being alone this Christmas, especially with Charlie being such an ass about the divorce all year. So, she convinced her kids how fun it would be to have their cousins stay.""Well, should make for a joy-filled morning for sure. Let me know how the house goes over.""Will do, same with those clothes.""Elly, no kid is excited about clothes," Dan said, chuckling.Elly rolled her eyes, "Umm, 9 year-old girls are, hence why you needed my help." He swore she said; ‘men' under her breath."You're right, of course, thanks again," then looking at his watch he said, "and let me officially be the first to wish you a merry Christmas, Elly.""Oh god, is it midnight already? I need to get back, or the kids will think I am Mrs. Claus. Merry Christmas, Dan." She gave him a quick wave as she slipped out the door. He locked it behind her and went to bring the presents to the family room tree. Smiling at the care with which they had been wrapped. He noticed she had left the tag blank, probably so Sam wouldn't be suspicious that the writing was Ms. Elly's."Like she won't be suspicious the clothes are this nicely wrapped," Dan thought to himself with a chuckle, as he filled out the tags and put them under the tree for the morning. He smiled at the tree and couldn't help think of his departed Jane, and how much she loved Christmas. He took a moment to give into the grief that he had fought back in front of Elly.Though he appreciated how understandable Elly was about it, it still felt wrong to grieve in front of someone like that at this joyous time, even someone he had gotten as close with as he had Elly. Her divorce and his wife's death this year had been a bonding thing for them. Elly's ex was a first class jerk, but he was also a coward who had somehow convinced Elly she was useless at taking care of herself. Hilariously, Dan knew he was only being this way because it was in fact Charlie who relied so heavily on Elly, that he needed her backing, to function. But low and behold, Elly had discovered she was fine on her own. Elly is a great mom and gracefully approaching her forties. Her inner beauty radiates outward to her lovely face. Her feminine curves were always luscious, but with her recent focus on better health, she would probably be off the ‘market' soon.‘Did she know her blouse was so, unbuttoned, tonight?' Dan thought to himself. Elly always took it in stride that men would get distracted by her tits. Ever since high school, Elly enjoyed more than her fair share of double-takes from guys. Her challenge was finding a man who loved her for more than her ass & tits. She hated that men often assumed a woman with a full figure lacked in brain power.Elly always appreciated that Dan believed in her. But now that she's single again; Elly found herself actually enjoying her growing need for a man.To keep her ex-husband off her back, Dan had volunteered to help with any home repairs she didn't know how to do, or would've had to call someone for. She tried to pay him, but he reminded her of all the help she had given months before when Jane was first gone. Their daughters were already friendly, so Elly would take his kids for hours to give him a break. Countless meals seem to find their way home with the kids each time, she said they're leftovers, but he wasn't fooled. So when she finally rid herself of the ‘tool', the repairs and upkeep were the least he could do. The latest exchange? He assembled a dollhouse for little Gracie that Elly had zero time to put together, if she picked up the clothes Sam had asked for. Given he spent no time in malls, and almost had never bought his kids clothes, picking out girls clothes was well out of his wheelhouse, so the exchange was perfect.His reflection was broken by a knock at the front door, figuring it was Elly, though surprised she used the front door. He dried his tears and went to answer it.When he opened the door, he found not Elly, but someone entirely different. Standing in the cold winter air was a scantily clad goddess wearing what could only be described as Mrs. Claus's lingerie. Red lace with white fur barely covered her ample breasts and panties area; over which she wore a see through red robe that was also white fur lined. Lost in the woman's cleavage, he barely heard her say, "Merry Christmas Dan, I'm Joy, your Christmas present, so to speak. Mind inviting me in? It's cold out here."Dan gulped, then moving out of the way said, "Of course come on in."Joy just smiled, closed the door, and said, "Before you start with the questions, let's just say you've been a very, very good boy this year, and a great dad. I'm a reward to special good single Daddy's who might not have anyone to keep them warm on a cold Christmas Eve." Joy then got very close, and without warning, kissed him. Before he knew it, almost by magic, her clothes were gone, and his hands were being placed on her firm ass and luscious tits. His clothing was strangely gone as well. It was too much for his system. He felt his cock explode with a long blast of cum; and blushed.Without missing a beat Joy stopped, smiled, and was somehow wearing her robe, again. Reading his shock and embarrassment she said; "Good, now that we got that one out of the way; and don't worry Dan, that happens a lot. I always come in hot like that you see. It tells me what kind of help you need. I'm part of Santa's special services team. I'm a comforter. I'm part of the division which cares for devoted single dads. If you just wanted sex, that works for me. Some dads just need to work out a little sexual frustration. Others, like you, are a little more complex and need something a little deeper. You complex ones usually cream yourself quick, and then we can get down to the real business.For the record, much as I love good sex, I prefer your kind, way more fulfilling for me. My success is measured by your depth of regained happiness. Now, which way to your kitchen?" Dan pointed and she said, "excellent, I'm going to make you some cocoa and we'll chat. Oh, and if you hadn't noticed I'm a little magical, just like the Big fella, no time will pass while I'm here, so you're not sacrificing sleep, nor will anyone wake up or see me if they do wake. We won't run out of time, nor will I lack stamina to meet your needs. We had one incident a long time ago, and we've been a lot more careful since. So, with that out of the way let's get started."Dan, not fully believing there was some kind of smoking hot elf in his kitchen making hot chocolate; sat down at his table in a daze. For something to do, he checked her out. Given she was wearing the robe, he was less able to see her body, but he had gotten an eyeful when she was at the door. She was buxom, but not overly so, her weight suited her and made her huge breasts not look comical on her. She had ample hips which he could see even with the robe on. Her hair was chestnut brown and halfway down her back. He was taken out of his admiring of her, by a question, as she brought the cocoa to the table."So, I couldn't help but notice those tears when you opened the door. How are you holding up without Jane here? The whole truth now, not what you tell others so they don't feel uncomfortable. My job is to make your Christmas better, and let's face it, as long as you're trying to hold it together for those darling kiddos upstairs, neither you or they is going to get the Christmas you all hoped for. And we both know Jane wouldn't want to be the reason you all have a bad Christmas. So out with it."He resisted at first, but looking into Joy's eyes he suddenly couldn't help it, it all just poured out of him, grief he didn't even know he had been holding onto, until he was sobbing uncontrollably in her lap, the chocolate long forgotten.His loneliness also got the best of him, and he found himself the aggressor this time, not able to get close enough to Joy no matter how many kisses. She took it all, and returned his fevered kisses, but it never got further than that, as the out pour of emotion once again overwhelmed him. He felt his eyes water again before this got beyond kissing and hugging. The irrational guilt of his sexual desires had kept him from dating for all these months since Jane's passing.But Joy shouldn't count, right? Joy's here as a supernatural intervention of sorts. Perhaps Jane; from some other world, arranged this visit?"It's okay Dan, all of it, this is a hard thing to deal with. You miss her in ways you haven't even realized.” Joy then asked; “When was the last time you thought about a woman like you have tonight? Probably not in months."Guilt washed over him as he knew that was not true, there was someone, he just could not bring himself to acknowledge those feelings though.Joy missed nothing, he was sure she knew what he was thinking, and maybe even about whom. Instead, she drank the rest of her cocoa and said; "that said, big boy, you can't keep leaving a girl hanging, I'm magic, but I'm still flesh & bones.” Standing, she said; “Mind helping a lady out? I'll even make it extra fun for you," she said as she shed the robe he had opened during their petting. Holding his hand, she led him to the family room, and she laid down on the sofa. From somewhere produced a whipped cream can and proceeded to spray it on her tits and then her crotch. Here she placed a cherry, and announced; "Come get your dessert big boy, special attention to the spot with the cherry if you don't mind. I know how much you boys like your boobs, but that tongue of yours on my cunt would be heavenly."Dan smiled and went to work, quickly cleaning off her impressive chest, making sure to give her hard nipples a stiff, tugging suck, before heading down to the main event. He took her two ankles and pulled her body down to one end of the sofa, until her ass was over the armrest and her legs dangled. From that side of the sofa, her pulled her knees wide apart and knelt down to enjoy a cunt sundae. He licked her completely clean before dipping his tongue into her sweet-tasting crevice. As requested, he gave it plenty of attention, especially her stiff, protruding clit. He sucked har on her nub while flicking it rapidly with his tongue, and was soon rewarded by her thrashing and moaning as she closed on her climax. Not long after, she exploded in pleasure, and he made sure to clean up any of her sweet syrup that leaked out.When he got up, he was instantly spun around and pinned naked to the sofa, with Joy on top. She kissed him hungrily, and with lust in her eyes, said; "Thank you sir, but you've been holding out on me it seems." She reached down and grabbed his cock, which he had not noticed had gotten painfully hard, and began stroking it. "You've been hiding this thick candy cane from me." She slid back and bent down to give it a few quick sucks, before rising and smiling, "just checking, looks like someone's finally ready for the main event. Good thing too, your tongue is heavenly, but I need to be filled up, darling." She then rose up and mounted him, squeezing her tits together, as she knelt, straddling a little forward, and moaned. If it was possible, Dan got harder in her stiff, velvety depths. He found new purpose in making this woman satisfied. Little did he know, his unconsciousness was awakening to new dimensions of life, finding purpose by satisfying a woman's sexual desires. She smiled; "Oh I think our good daddy likes his present, just wait big boy, you ain't seen nothing yet."She proceeded to ride him, slow at first, but getting faster as she went, clearly hitting a sensitive spot for herself as she did. She came not too long after starting. As she collapsed on him, Dan seized his chance, and holding her to him, with his cock still buried deep in her, rolled them over. "Umm, Daddy's ready to drive huh? Have at it, drive into the depths of my magic cunt."Have it he did. He wasn't sure how long, but he burned off months of sexual frustration on Joy's cunt, and she loved every minute of it. His hungry cock tingled in delight as her cunt magically massaged every inch of his manhood. As he felt his spunk prepare for an eminent blast, he pressed down and held there. Her cunt then seemed to suck on his tip, swelling his glans, and holding him securely. As the waves of ejaculate shot out, he felt her cunt actually swallow him, as though she was giving him a swallowing blowjob with her tight, rigid cunt. This climax held for a few minutes of pure ecstasy. When it was all done, he collapsed next to her, spent.Joy turned onto her side with her head on Dan's chest. One of her tits laid over him and he gently fondled it as his breathing settled."Feel better?" Joy asked snuggling up to him. As she did, she handed him something. "Before the irrational guilt settles in, read this. It's Jane's last letter to Santa. She was always a believer, and a big reason I'm here tonight."Dan unfolded the letter, which was written in Jane's familiar script, and it read:Dear Santa,My wish is not really for this year, or maybe even next year. I know I'm not well, and I do not know how much time I have left, but if you are out there, can you make sure that if I go, my Daniel has a good Christmas. If I know him, he will move heaven and earth to make sure the kids have a happy Christmas, even at the expense of himself. So, if you can find some way to make sure he's ok next year, I'd appreciate it. I love him so much, and I hope he finds his own way to happiness, but if not, please help him, and remind him its ok to move on. He has already given me more love, care and support than a girl could ever dreamed of, and I could not bear to see him unhappy after all he's sacrificed for me, nor am I selfish enough to think only I deserve his love. His heart his too big to keep hidden away. I only hope he can find someone to love, and that she cherishes him as much as I do. I'm not sure why I'm writing all of this to you Santa, or if you're even real, but if you are, make sure he has a good Christmas and knows that I was loved.Jane"She always said I should move on if she went, but it's so hard. Jane was, everything." Dan said shaking his head."Not to be nosy, but I think you already have. You just won't admit it to yourself. I think there is a certain divorcee you've been a guardian angel for. And let's face it Dan, she's been yours. That little exchange you two just had, before I got here; how is that any different than how you and Jane worked together? You could fill a need for her and her kids, that has been neglected for long since before she left Charlie. And those two darlings upstairs," Joy said pointing upstairs, "need a good mother's love and care. Which, given that little bag of clothes in the garage for Owen, and the perfectly wrapped gifts for Sam under the tree; she's already doing.”Joy looked deeply into Dan's eyes; “No one can replace Jane. She will always be those kid's mother. But that doesn't mean the 6 of you can't help each other heal. Who knows, maybe by next Christmas, someone won't need her sister to rescue her, and both of you can put out presents together. Just think about it. And admit it; you really loved the cleavage tease she provided, tonight? Imagine how happy you'll make her, by enjoying her body. That luscious body she wants to share with you."Then she rose and smiled; "Well, not to run, but I have to go. You need to get some sleep. Excited kids will be up soon. Do not forget to send Elly a video of those clothes getting opened." Joy helped him up, then seeing the unkept state that the room was in; picked up a candy cane off the hot chocolate tray, and waved it around. Magically the kitchen was spotless, and they were both fully dressed. "See you again next year if needed. You're my charge now, so I'll come back as many Christmases as I'm needed. I have a good feeling you won't even need me next year though." With that she was gone.Dan found himself in his bed being woken by his kids, wondering if the whole thing had been a dream. Not too long after, paper lay all over the family room floor, and his kids were engrossed in their gifts. As promised, he sent the video of little Samantha gushing over her clothes. Given he had not been as discreet filming it as he hoped, Samantha had seen and made sure to say 'thanks Ms. Elly' to the recording phone. He wasn't sure how exactly she knew, but he also wasn't shocked. Sam was as smart as her mother, and he was thankful of that every day. Every time he looked at Sam, he knew he'd always have a part of Jane in his life. He also received a video of Gracie, loving her dollhouse, and giving her mom all the credit, which he was sure made Elly's day.As it should, moms work hard at Christmas, they should get credit. This was especially true in Elly's case, given her troubles with Charlie this year. After watching the video, he thought for a bit about what Joy had said and decided to send back:'Thanks for the video, glad to put a smile on her face, and glad she put a smile on yours. Hopefully my smart girl put a smile on yours too, she is something. Speaking of smiles, I know you put one on my face more than I thought possible these past few months, and I love giving you reasons to show your pretty smile. I think we're good for each other. I'd like to explore that more after the holidays are over, if you're ready for that."He nervously hit ‘send' and moments later got back.'More than ready, I just didn't want to rush you. Jane was an incredible woman and a tough act to follow, I'll do my best for sure. We'll take it slow for the kids' sake, but you're right, you make me smile more than I have in years, and I'd like to feel that more. Name a time and place in the new year and I'm there.A moment later he got another text;

Do you have old clothes in your closet that no longer fit, but you're hoping that you'll lose some weight and be able to wear them again? Have you ever bought something in a smaller size that you currently wear to use it as “motivation” to lose weight? Perhaps a smaller bathing suit for an upcoming vacation, or you ordered your wedding dress a size smaller than you are now? Well, I hate to tell ya, but purchasing and holding onto clothes that are too small isn't a magic potion for weight loss. (In fact, it's a recipe for failure - and I don't use that word lightly.)

Today's poem is from "The Crystal Text" by Clark Coolidge. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Poetry negotiates that space between our inner life and the relational world we share with others. Magically, we make plain what we feel and observe to convey what some might call a soul. I often describe poetry as a mirror that reflects back our interiority. But today's poem wonders if such perspective is even possible, given that we barely know who we are — making the enterprise of connection through art deeply indeterminate and delicate.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

We truly live in a golden age for Magic, the Occult and all the high strangeness that comes with it.

Every paradigm needs its heroes and villains, but more importantly- those who broaden and illuminate the ideas which are its very lifeblood. For Magic, one person has been the greatest promulgator of thinking magically for the last 50 years- And that is Ramsey Dukes.

LONG PAUSE Breathe again, and imagine a beautiful woven basket gently scooping up any distracting thoughts and carrying them away. LONG PAUSE Feel your body relaxing even more deeply with each breath. Take a moment to lavish in the calm. LONG PAUSE While basking in the serenity, imagine seeing a tiny, twinkling light out of the corner of your eye. like a miniature sparkler, dancing, shimmering and flowing like a fountain of light. PAUSE After a few moments, the light takes shape, and a small, luminous figure appears: A fairy. PAUSE For a moment, Just look at the fairy. See her golden hair cascading in light. Notice her clothes made of leaves and petals, And see her wand aglow with magical light. PAUSE The fairy smiles at you, and you feel a wave of trust embed in your heart. “I'm Aya. Come with me,” she whispers. You know you can follow this fairy anywhere. PAUSE Aya sweeps her arms through the air, and a path of golden stardust appears. Then, the fairy cups her hands and gently blows fairy dust toward you. Magically, you rise from the bed, able to fly as nimbly as the fairy. PAUSE Together, you and Aya fly on the stardust path, into the night, past the houses and buildings, past bridges and waterways, until you reach the woods. The fairy pauses at the edge of the woods. “Are you ready for an adventure?” she whispers. You nod, feeling excitement and wonder. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, taking the fairy's hand and sailing into the woods. Tall trees light up as you pass them. Flowers and bushes glow when the fairy flies by. And, what you once thought was a quiet forest, is now alive in the most magical way. PAUSE Aya takes you to a large tree stump that immediately radiates with light as soon as you pause there. Minutes later, dozens of tiny sparkler lights appear. Fairies of all shapes and sizes surround you with smiles and light. “Learn from them,” Aya whispers. PAUSE A group of fairies approach. They wave their wands, and you fly with them deep into the bowels of the woods. PAUSE Imagine now, that when you and the fairies stop, Out of the black of night a magical workshop appears. As you look closer, you see this workshop has bits of damaged trees, shrubs and flowers in it. And the fairies are working on them. PAUSE One fairy with a round face and jolly laugh nods at you, beckoning you to follow him. He picks up a mended flower, and together, you fly to plant missing its beautiful flower. The fairy waves his wand and the mended flower adheres to the plant, in full bloom. Then you and the fairy return to the others. PAUSE Another group of fairies welcomes you to follow them. And together, you fly through the forest, until you reach a small house nestled in the heart of the forest. PAUSE You and the fairies enter the house in silence while a family sleeps. The fairies go to the kitchen, where there is noticeably little food, and with a wave of their wands they fill the barren cabinets With bread, vegetables and wine. They fill a pot with stew, ready for the family to heat up when they wake up. Then they leave, as silently as they came. PAUSE Back in the woods with the fairies, Aya meets you and you know that your time with the fairies has come to an end. You thank the fairies for all their hospitality and sharing. And you and Aya fly home on the stardust path. PAUSE

LONG PAUSE Breathe again, and imagine a beautiful woven basket gently scooping up any distracting thoughts and carrying them away. LONG PAUSE Feel your body relaxing even more deeply with each breath. Take a moment to lavish in the calm. LONG PAUSE While basking in the serenity, imagine seeing a tiny, twinkling light out of the corner of your eye. like a miniature sparkler, dancing, shimmering and flowing like a fountain of light. PAUSE After a few moments, the light takes shape, and a small, luminous figure appears: A fairy. PAUSE For a moment, Just look at the fairy. See her golden hair cascading in light. Notice her clothes made of leaves and petals, And see her wand aglow with magical light. PAUSE The fairy smiles at you, and you feel a wave of trust embed in your heart. “I'm Aya. Come with me,” she whispers. You know you can follow this fairy anywhere. PAUSE Aya sweeps her arms through the air, and a path of golden stardust appears. Then, the fairy cups her hands and gently blows fairy dust toward you. Magically, you rise from the bed, able to fly as nimbly as the fairy. PAUSE Together, you and Aya fly on the stardust path, into the night, past the houses and buildings, past bridges and waterways, until you reach the woods. The fairy pauses at the edge of the woods. “Are you ready for an adventure?” she whispers. You nod, feeling excitement and wonder. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, taking the fairy's hand and sailing into the woods. Tall trees light up as you pass them. Flowers and bushes glow when the fairy flies by. And, what you once thought was a quiet forest, is now alive in the most magical way. PAUSE Aya takes you to a large tree stump that immediately radiates with light as soon as you pause there. Minutes later, dozens of tiny sparkler lights appear. Fairies of all shapes and sizes surround you with smiles and light. “Learn from them,” Aya whispers. PAUSE A group of fairies approach. They wave their wands, and you fly with them deep into the bowels of the woods. PAUSE Imagine now, that when you and the fairies stop, Out of the black of night a magical workshop appears. As you look closer, you see this workshop has bits of damaged trees, shrubs and flowers in it. And the fairies are working on them. PAUSE One fairy with a round face and jolly laugh nods at you, beckoning you to follow him. He picks up a mended flower, and together, you fly to plant missing its beautiful flower. The fairy waves his wand and the mended flower adheres to the plant, in full bloom. Then you and the fairy return to the others. PAUSE Another group of fairies welcomes you to follow them. And together, you fly through the forest, until you reach a small house nestled in the heart of the forest. PAUSE You and the fairies enter the house in silence while a family sleeps. The fairies go to the kitchen, where there is noticeably little food, and with a wave of their wands they fill the barren cabinets With bread, vegetables and wine. They fill a pot with stew, ready for the family to heat up when they wake up. Then they leave, as silently as they came. PAUSE Back in the woods with the fairies, Aya meets you and you know that your time with the fairies has come to an end. You thank the fairies for all their hospitality and sharing. And you and Aya fly home on the stardust path. PAUSE
