Listening To My Intuition

An inferno in my gut told me something was wrong
I fled the scene immediately, knowing something was off
Something horrible was about to happen
I missed it, and later felt grateful, relieved, and thrilled to have missed it
Because it was something that would have caused me unthinkable pain
Hearing about it was not the same as being there.
I thanked my intuition a hundred times over.
She never lets me down.

I believe our lives would be much more rich and positive if we paid more attention to our "gut-feelings." I liked this poem a lot, Caren.

Isn't it phenomenal how often we get that sixth sense... a premonition to do something without reason? Thank goodness we listen to it. Good one, Caren.

I used to fight it; not any more Jenna. Never now.
