Intuition, October 30, 2014 - February 26, 2015

An inner voice whispered

That no matter where I went or what I did

I would feel safe and be safe, even

In times of despair -

Joy not guaranteed, only

A hope to make it out of the rabbit hole

In the face of all manner of petty

Plans and designs -

               Human plans and designs

That matter only to the living

In the way that solid ground

Might matter to the earthbound.

I actively listen for intuition

Without any argument of the type that causes nations to war

And people to very nearly kill those they profess to love

In the name of being right.

I find comfort in this uncomfortable world,

My burdens become light.

I know that life is not to be lived alone.

Intuition is wisdom confirmed.

God, nature, creativity, science, mythology, creative imagination, spirituality, atheism, agnosticism, the spirituality of atheism:

Names that matter to some, less to others.

So much does not matter.

My inner voice? Matters.

It’s saying that I should try not to be a dick.

Yours, to you, might be saying the same,

Listen.
