Intuition is the way to the Way.
There is no thinking, no believing,
only seeing/hearing/knowing,
spontaneously
the way we know when our heart is in something
and when it is not.

Living intuitively
is living spontaneously,
is living wholeheartedly,
is seeing/hearing/knowing what's what
and what is called for
in each situation as it arises--
not in a rational/logical/intellectual kind of way,
but in a see/do kind of way.

Something happens and we know what to do in response.
Intuition at its best.

Our responsibility is to pay attention
to what our heart/body is telling us,
to what our intuition is saying to us,
and to go where it is telling us to go,
to do what it is urging us to do.

And to not resist, demur, refuse,
because we don't want to,
because we don't feel like it,
because we aren't in the mood,
because we have a better idea...

What does wanting know?
Intuition KNOWS!
When wanting trumps intuition
we are off the path,
we have lost the way,
and are wandering in the wasteland
where one direction looks as good as another.

When that is the case with us,
the thing to do is sit down, shut up, be quiet. 
Is to drop into emptiness/stillness/silence
and wait "for the mud to settle and the water to clear."

With clarity comes seeing/hearing/knowing
what's what and what is called for
and it is being/doing that 
that gets us back in the saddle
and on the way the is the Way.

Until the next thing that we don't want to do...

Our best move is to let wanting go
and to do what our intuition tells us what is called for
and directs us to do about it.

No matter what.
