My Amazing Left Ear

My amazing left ear… it not only hears, it sees, tastes and smells. It can touch too! It is intuitive. My left ear informs my ability to observe and witness. It tickles deep within the canal and sniffs out truths like a bloodhound.

It sniffs out that which isn’t audible - the feelings and unexpressed emotions of people. My amazing left ear knows things and my “higher self” has learned to listen intently to its wisdom.

What I know for sure is that I didn’t always pay attention to my left ear’s wisdom. I thought my deep connection to knowing shit was my third eye, gut or pussy. Those places know and sense things as well but, not like that left ear of mine — it tickles or perhaps it’s an itch. It’s faint and other times strong. It’s hard to ignore and when I’ve ignored it, I’ve regretted it.

That left ear of mine has a connection to a wisdom that cannot be learned in any school. It’s a wisdom that feels into the way a person breathes. It perceives intricate nuances, mannerisms, the way someone fidgets, eye motion, pauses and gestures to name a few.

My left ear has always informed me. I can recall being six years old and my aunt stopping by our house to share some “exciting” news. She and Micheal were getting married. I watched as she and my mom danced and squealed at this news. They were giddy as they excitedly talked of dates, dresses, and all sorts of fun details. When my aunt left my mom turned to me and exclaimed “Isn’t that wonderful?!” I sheepishly replied, “She doesn’t look happy. Why is she so sad?” My mom was surprised and scolded me for my line of questioning. I mean, how could I say such a thing? I didn’t know how to tell her that my left ear was paying attention to far more than what was coming out of my aunt’s mouth. What I know for sure was that my left ear would prove to be correct. And, soon everyone else would know this truth too.
