For I", I chose Intuition. And I am at a loss for a catchy, relevant story this morning, so I wrote a poem:
That chip behind your ear
the scratch under your nail
a wire of sudden hints
details do not entail
Mind that quiet creature
that rights your moral code
your gut stretches your torso
and can move you head to toe
But its nature is inconspicuous
and at first it trusts you full
until you avoid the effort
and cave into the pull
If you ignore it once
it may simply give a shrug
but twice you get a minor pinch
Then a screech if you get smug
Just ask yourself the question
"What is it should I do?"
and the first convicted answer
will ring for you as true
If we could listen to our gut
our quiet intuition
without an explanation
and rationalized suspicion
Then quicker our decisions made
and less the consequence
of emotion, or error, or fault
as guidance into life's suspense
Well-written. Pay attention to those twitches just behind your ear. They're telling you something.
