Intuition

 

Intuition. It is sort of like a back stage brain, working on problems you’ve left pending. It shoots ideas up to you of the sort “What if this? Or What if that?  Most of the time it’s unimportant, but sometimes it scores big. That is why intuition is so important, for suggesting ideas that haven’t fallen naturally as you’ve worked on the problem. Sometimes, after working long and hard, you hear it offering up an idea as if to say, “Try this, stupid.”

Intuition - I

Is that patient caretaker in your mind,
Helping you with problems big and small,
Guiding you with family and friends,
Giving insights when needed most, and
Warning you off the wrong path.

As a trusted friend,
Intuition is not always right, but
It pays to listen, if not to obey,

Intuition II

Intuition is something like a powerful App.
With access to all your data,
Memories, acuity, biases, beliefs, knowledge,
Some hidden from conscious access.
Intuitions contain all of these, but
Insights hopefully surprise,
Enlightening with glimpses, ideas, alternatives,
Though rarely a fait de complete.

Many say trust your intuition.
Over rely or under rely
Are both wrong.
Intuition suggests only to try this or try that,
Sometimes both, sometimes nothing.
Trust but verify is always in play.
Intuition and you form a select committee,
Brainstorming for a solution.
