I Got A Feeling


Scanning on All Frequencies


I like to call mine spider senses while others refer to it as a sixth sense, intuition, or heightened awareness.  I was reminded of the spider senses while watching Nora and David’s little critter Amos running around in their back yard.  Amos is a longhaired Jack Russell with a full body length mohawk and attitude to go with it.  He is also blind. 

It was interesting watching him find his way around the backyard as they are in the process of putting in a new pool so his familiar surroundings have changed.  As he walked out of the house, you could see him checking his footing, turning his head from left to right to listen, and sniffing a lot.  As he would move around the yard, you could tell he was a little more cautious than in the past as he could sense the changes.  Sure, he would bump into things occasionally, but you could see that he was sensing and almost doing a mental map in his head.  He was able to find the differences in the backyard by using his spider senses and adapting.

If something feels good, pay attention to it.  If something feels off, pay attention it.  If get an uncomfortable feeling around someone or in a certain situation, pay attention to the feeling.  Awareness is a great thing on all levels.
