Deep Listening

Intuitive knowledge
gut feelings too often ignored
yet frequently hitting a mark.
No rhyme and no reason for
   a ping in the belly
     a twist in the gut
       a hesitant move forward
         an urge to step back
miraging doors that open or close
phantom sounds of alarm, even of laughter
timed tendrils of experience
too easily drowned out by reason.
These nebulous feelings ~
      ‘just right’ or ‘very wrong’ ~
are powerful silent messages from within.
To be grateful for these messages 
rather than buried in self-doubt
will tune inner ears to intuitive wisdom.

“Regular people have such a hard time listening to the low hum of instinct.”
~ Suzanne Palmieri, The Witch of little Italy
