Our intuition is a superpower
designed in the evolutionary laboratory 
for meeting all of the challenges
presented by every day.

Every day we meet physical, emotional,
intellectual, spiritual tests of our 
stability, creativity, stamina, will,
resiliency, fealty, devotion, incentive,
resolve, ingenuity, determination...

And we have to find what it takes
to rise to the occasion,
growing up some more again,
time after time.

We do it by handing ourselves over
to our inner guide,
saying, "Okay. Here we are. Now what?"
And waiting for something to occur to us
out of nowhere
that turns out to be a fitting response
to our environment,
and "the game's afoot" again.

Our intuition is superbly suited
to meet and respond to anything 
that comes our way--
without losing the way of being
true to ourselves,
at one with who we are and what we are about
in the deepest spiritual sense of the term.

We have the capacity to land on our feet
and be ourselves,
anyway, anywhere, nevertheless, even so,
day after day after day--
by living from the emptiness, stillness and silence,
and waiting for "the mud to settle 
and the water to clear,"
until the creative impulse arises
to lead the way
some more again today.
