the guiding light
i have good night vision.
to be blasted by someone’s headlamp
in the darkest of dark
is blinding.
i have good night vision.
is that a vision thing?
or
a trust thing?
i may trip over things
but i can feel my way along
‘seeing’ from a different place.
do you close your eyes to see?
often
i close my eyes to see better.
our eyes can only see what our brain can understand.
this is why there are not more UFO sightings.
however
if we take our eyes out of the picture
and
rely instead
on our other senses
ahhhhh
we find our guiding light.
it is a challenge for many
to close the eyes.
what if what it what if???!!!
instead
allow your eyes to soften.
give them a break.
they work hard.
open up your other senses.
hear. smell. feel. taste.
most of us have a dominant sense.
do you allow it to be something other than your sight?
mine is smell.
oh my! what i can pick up on with my nose.
and
my intuition.
the 6th sense.
for me
it started as a distant voice
one that i could barely hear
or
sometimes only hear
after-the-fact
cause i wasn’t really listening
before the fact.
OR during.
eventually i said
‘hey, could you speak up? i really want to hear what you are saying.’
and the voice grew.
but only continued to grow
if i listened.
that’s the key.
listen.
just like anything
practice practice.
when you practice listening
practice hearing
the voice within
it eventually replaces the chatter of the mind.
it does, after all
serve your best interest.
you are the only person you can always trust.
you will never lead yourself astray.
sure
we all make decisions we don’t feel great about
but hey
we learn to listen better from those experiences.
when you reach for your flashlight in dark times
consider using your own guiding light.
it doesn’t need batteries.
it will always be there as long as you are.
it wants you to grow and succeed.
Allow Yourself To.
