Time to stop, time to go
Time to sleep, time to rise
Time to love,
Time to be yourself
choose the time that fits
a schedule
the calendar or
our hearts,
merely a knowing,
intuition with no colour,
no little bell that rings,
no pop up flag,
merely a feeling
too easy to dismiss…
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations…
I sometimes FEEL that I am right.
I do not KNOW that I am.
~ Albert Einstein
Listen
Listen for changes that
come with a shift in
consciousness,
alertness,
knowledge
to reshape beliefs,
to mould the heart
Your mind will tell you
the direction to take
the star to follow
The message may not be
written in words, or
sung in song but
from deep within
laden with intuition.
“The intuitive mine is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift,”
~ Albert Einstein
Trust ~
hard to come by these days
voices over phones
black and white emails,
social media words
faceless names
only known
by someone else
Only inside
is trust real
tied to intuition
gut feelings ~
stand still slowly
breath deeply
let go of panic
gently believe in yourself
know that you are safe
“Always remember you are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
~ Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh

Assessing what direction to take ~ so linear, sorted on spread sheets with data to back up decisions,
when I watch my hand holding a knife, chopping vegetables for supper, easily swinging them into the pot,
there has been no obvious assessing, no measuring grids and lines, merely wanting the taste of good food.
Assessing what direction to take
~ needs the pull of heartstrings
with intuition to back up decisions.
“The head is powerful, but it can only get us
what we really want if we open our heart first.”

A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the
Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart
“Intuition lives inside all cats ~ as everyone knows. Humans seem to share that quality. She knew that my comfort was of critical importance. A beautiful new blanket; a soft velvety pillow. She did mutter something with her strange noises. Something like ‘cat hair’. Oh well, as long as I can stretch out, relax and be fed on time all is well.”
“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.”
~ James Herriot

Mop, bucket, towels, cup to scoop out
standing water - maintenance request put in and responded to. By afternoon everything was dry, clean with clear pipe. Order returned to my kitchen.
Lesson? (besides the first one)
Don’t take for granted the hidden pipes of
plumbing that takes water throughout
my home ~ something that not everyone has
access to.
“When the well is dry, we’ll know the worth of water.”

Heart Felt
Intuition, or more plainly, gut feelings told Dolores that her plan to move forward in her job was not a well thought out plan. It set her back on her heels. She could usually trust this inner quiver when she was about to misstep. So she decided to write the list her grandfather had always suggested when she came to him for advice about some decision she had to make, but was unsure. Pros and Cons. She closed her office door, always a sign to her colleagues: ‘Do Not Disturb. The list she drew up was not that long, but seemed incomplete. Pros: a better paycheque. Cons: stepping into a more stressful area of the energy business. Could she do it? Dolores was confident that she was definitely up to the task. She frequently had to step in and fill in for someone at the higher levels. She picked up her pen again. ‘Frequent travel' went on the ‘con’ side. While she loved to travel with her work, right now there were too many airline related Covid cases popping up in her area. She knew she was strict following the recommended routines, and some suggested she was got a little bit over the top. She could not be as confident with everyone else. And her grandfather was depending on her to care for him.
Dolores stood confidently. She walked and looked out the window of her office on the sixth floor. “I know what I need to do and what I want to do.” Her parents had traveled abroad, against her better judgement, and had become trapped in Italy. They would return to Canada via Toronto, but would have to quarantine before returning to the west coast. There was no one else her grandfather could depend on except for the care home staff. She added one more thing to her list: ‘Grandfather needs me here’. To the birds and the sky outside she said. “If and when mom and dad get back, I can always see if I still want to move up the ladder.” Dolores smiled and sighed. When the quiver inside settled and her shoulders relaxed, she knew she had reached the right decision.
