INTUITION

INTUITION

Like the wolf, intuition has claws that pry things open and pin things down, it has eyes that can through the shields of persona, it has ears that hear beyond the range of mundane human hearing.
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Dear Hadley,

Your rational mind will go to great lengths to dissuade you.
Still, trust it.

Others will try to convince you otherwise.
Still, trust it.

Facts will point you in a different direction.
Still, trust it.

It may only sound like a whisper, a low hum.
Still, trust it.

It may only feel like a gentle nudge, a quiet tug.
Still, trust it.

It may require rearranging, rethinking.
Or: complete upheaval.
Still, trust it.

You may fear it.
You may resist it.
You may decide it’s best to stuff it down,
drown it out,
lock it away.

Don’t.
(You will only break your own heart.)

Trust it.
Trust it.
Trust it.

I love your heart, your gut, your soul.

You, during your summer of 7. It’s a joy to watch you storm around with certainty, sure of your self and your plans. You are a force.
