When Vesuvius
Rumbled in her deep, Pompeii’s
Blue skies were a lie.
Sometimes our gut warns us to leave, but we stay.
Other times, it calls us to act, but fear keeps us frozen.
And in both moments, the mind often steps in—trying to quiet what the body already knows.
This week on The Poet (delayed), we explore what happens when we ignore that deep inner rumble. Why we override our intuition. Why we stay when we should go. Why we hide when we’re being called to step forward. And what it might look like to finally trust the wisdom of the gut over the noise of the mind.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com.
