Solitude in the Vedauwoos
I want to speak plainly and directly to an entity that I can’t quite perceive.

Pain Pushes Until Vision Pulls
“Pain pushes until vision pulls.”
~ Rev. Michael Beckwith
Intuition often shows up as a tiny nudge, a whisper of an impulse that reorients us in a new direction.
It can take the shape of dream that won’t leave us alone, or a series of synchronicities that are too improbable to be coincidental.
We may notice that when our intuition is most active and clear, we are often in the midst of some form of turmoil or transition in our lives.
We may feel pain or internal dissonance – something feels off, misaligned, not quite right.
This pain, while uncomfortable, serves a useful function.
It nudges us out of our comfort zone, softening our defenses and encouraging us to challenge old beliefs and habits that keep us stuck in old patterns.
The pain that may frustratingly defy diagnosis is often an initiation into a new stage of growth.
If we can resist the temptation to escape the discomfort through the many distractions at our disposal, we create an opening for our intuition to pierce the surface of our consciousness.
This is fertile ground for awareness of intuition to flourish. We may begin to feel less inclined to figure out what’s wrong, and more interested in who we’re becoming.
Almost always, our intuition guides us toward the object of our curiosity and expansion rather than old pains and resentments.
We see a flyer for a dance class after having watched a moving documentary on salsa dancers.
We notice a beautiful guitar in a storefront window after tearing up listening to an acoustic Eric Clapton tune.
Or we find our Dad’s old Nikon film camera in the attic after seeing a riveting exhibit at a photo gallery.
These examples share two commonalities . . . our hearts are moved by these experiences.
We aren’t simply curious or interested – we’re gripped by an intense longing that defies explanation.
Second, these experiences are almost always followed by a door opening, an opportunity to go just a little deeper.
The beauty is that even if we don’t take advantage of these openings, the doors never close completely.
Whatever divine mystery is at play here, it is infinitely generous and loving. It never abandons us, no matter how many times we turn our backs on it.
This achingly beautiful form of unconditional love is with us always.
So, the next time you hear this quiet beckoning, feel a subtle stirring, witness a confluence of events that you can’t explain . . . stop, breathe, and say “thank you.”
You’ve witnessed the miracle that is your life.
