Being right about "Yes" and "No"
is the most important thing to be right about.
We can't go by what someone else says.
It is our own call all the way.

We can only trust ourselves 
to know what we are talking about
when we have more than a casual acquaintance
with emptiness,
stillness
and silence--
and can recognize the "click" within
when we are right about "Yes" and "No."

The inner "click" doesn't get enough press.

"Follow the 'clicks'!"
"Let the 'clicks' lead you!"
"Go without hesitation
wherever the 'clicks' take you!"
do not rank among the best advice ever given--
and that is why things are as they are
wherever we look.

No one has time for the "clicks."

Adam and Eve never waited for the "click!"

And, here we are.

If it is appealing to the eyes,
and arousing to the senses,
we don't bother with
taking it into the emptiness/stillness/silence
and listening for what it has to say.

If we want it with all our heart,
that's enough for us,
neverminding that the heart 
can be tricked in 10,000 ways.

Take the heart into the emptiness/stillness/silence,
and see what it has to say.

Adopt the practice of listening looking,
hearing seeing,
in the emptiness/stillness/silence
in regard to everything that comes your way.
If it "clicks" with you,
take it for a spin,
always looking for the follow-up "clicks"
at every fork in the road.

Too bad Adam and Eve
didn't know bout the "clicks"
at every fork in the road.
