960: I’m Nobody! Who are you? (260‪)‬ The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

    • Performing Arts

Today’s poem is I’m Nobody! Who are you? (260) by Emily Dickinson.

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s popular poem encourages a kind of disappearance from life rather than a need for attention. Cosmologically speaking, there’s a virtue in acknowledging one’s insignificance, maybe, too, in instigating others to enjoy the pause of anonymity and quietness of being."
