 The “Just Know” Times A blessing or curse, dependent on the cusp of perspective ~*~ there are the just know times when the day is rolling along too well and the phone call comes you pick it up knowing your child has become ill at school even before the nurse speaks ~*~ the times when you put off sending a letter of anniversary wishes only to hear of the separation three days later… ~*~ when, deep in sleep, the voice comes to you in the dream, you turn to hold a spirit and you realize, your soulmate ~*~ When the give and take of emotions... wrenches a soul from its shadow ~*~ and neck hairs bristle before the telling while the stomach, too tied up to be released as the black cloth floats, descending these are the knowing times ~*~ the electric is there arcing inspire the fiery moment to acknowledge! ~*~ Curse, or blessing? I know now, I would not be without. |

This thing you speak of, I have had those moments... but I think women have them more frequently from an intuition that was bred into them thousands of years ago... Becoming honed to a fine and sharp edge... |

I pick blessing. This is so, so wonderful, Karilea. A keeper...yep! And the next time my daughter asks me how I knew that something was going to happen...I will direct her here to you! Sheesh, I missed this place! Patricia |

 (big hugggsssssss) It probably is a combination of both, sweet friend, I would never want a psychic to tell me my entire future as I want to find out for myself and let it be a suprise, though all at once it is important to have hopes, harbingers, fears, and premonitions! (sigh) Guess it's just the ESP kicking in, this is wonderful, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Lovely picture to go with this one. Good construction, and it made me shiver. I've never had a 'just know' moment, and I don't want one. I'm happily non-psychic, thank you. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

There are those times....and I've learned to go with them, because they never fail to take you where you're supposed to be... Yes! Just practicing...that's a word everybody should keep on the tip of their tongue.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Yes, SunshineyOne....whether they are a "blessing or a curse", I wouldn't know how to live without those "just know times", either. I love this picture, too. Did you take it with your camera? I have a new digital camera, but I have got to do a lot of practicing before I can take pictures good enough to share. On my poem I've going to post now, the pictures of my dog are taken by Gary's Dad and a friend of mine. Well, I guess I could have sent all that in an e-mail, instead of on your poem thread. LOL hugs, my friend Ethel |

Thank you, Everyone! Yes, Ethel. I have a digital camera that we got about [shock] a year ago! It's kept me happy happy! and I would be horrified at the cost in dollars alone for film processing with my old 35mm. Thank God for technology, digital cameras, and Ron's ever-expanding generosity over the share of bandwidth for use of our photographs... |

This is something all of us can relate too. like I always know who is calling when the phone rings. I dunno...maybe that's just me but I really enjoyed this one. I was also thinking darker things, like someone died and you know. I think is has something to do with the air around you. And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!" |

Karilea, it's a woman's intuition of 'just know' times. Or when we say to our teenagers, 'I just know.Trust me on this.' Another wonderfully written poem. Into my library and into my special book of poems it goes!!! Hugs my friend, Marti Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you. |

I too, thought i had replied, but know i've read it many times now, and each time, i'm in awe. Oh yes, I couldn't do without. mine has saved me in such scary ways before. I do wonder how i survived without acknowledgement of intuiton some years ago. once i found it, so to speak, i vowed to ALWAYS listen, no matter what, after ignoring it/ brushing the 'feeling' off so many stupid times before. to my library! ~I wanna live, I wanna give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold~ Neil Young |
