TRUTH . . . HAS A RING TO IT
(continued)

It is important that we learn to listen to what we hear deep inside of ourselves; what many would call a 'gut feeling'. Of course it is risky and we may make some mistakes because we are untrained and for too long have ignored the still small voice inside.

When the inner umpire is calling 'Out!' we should start to take notice and make haste slowly. I have walked roughshod over that inner registration too many times and paid a high price. Now I am learning to increasingly listen for the ring of truth, for the trumpet to sound a clear note before I rush off into battle. If I learn this well, maybe I shall suffer fewer unnecessary wounds in future.
