Those of us who were raised in a Christian Sunday School heard mention of “the still, small voice”. There are other descriptions such as “gut-feeling” or “an inner-knowing”. Whatever it is, I take it to be my Higher Wisdom guiding me. It’s that sixth-sense, the feeling of “go here” or “don’t do that”, and I try to heed it’s advice.
It takes practice to go from the urges in the moment arising from some egoic state of want or neediness to listen to the guidance from within, and follow it’s advice instead. It’s the solid ground which supports me and inspires me. When my footing is sure, I am more readily able to be open to the answer to the question of “now what?”.
Some decisions feel truly inspired, as if they are answers to my inner questions. I love when that happens! I feel like I’m in a space of true co-creation with my Creator. It comes from a very real application of another saying: “Let go and let God”. I usually realize this in retrospect, but sometimes I’m right in the moment, reveling in the perfection!
Creating art, crafting, coming up with a new recipe or way of doing things, expanding my limiting beliefs of what is possible—these are moments of inspiration. I want to always be ready to try, to listen, to act, to take part in the everyday miracles of these holy processes.
Today, I will take the time to listen to my intuition—that still, small voice, that gut-feeling, the inner knowing directing my path as I take care of the mundane. There is always time to be inspired, and I’m deeply grateful for that.
