Impulse

In the quiet stillness I hear my truth.

After a time of waiting and allowing.

Feminine receptivity precedes action

In order to be responding

Rather than reacting.

I often am too impulsive.

I can jump when I feel the pulse of life

Impelling me

But often it is best

To listen, watch and wait,

To get clearer.

What is that force touching?

Am I reacting for the highest good?

Or will this reaction just fuel more confusion?

Rest.

Wait.

Listen inwardly.

Allow.

Feel and follow my flow

But don’t always act on feeling,

Allow feeling to transform

Held inside that calm open space.

Embrace a feeling of peace in your heart

Before jumping to action

Unless your life is in real danger.

Then I guess

Protect yourself

Or run away

As fast as you can.
