Premonitions – the possibility of knowing the unknowable?

Holding my breath.

It feels like the world has been cramping up, waiting for something big and bad to happen. I myself have also been on my toes, awaiting a catastrophe of some sort. For some reason I’ve been thinking for the last two weeks that it will occur today.

For the last few hours the panic has been slowly rising within. I feel like crawling out of my skin, I have goose bumps and a hole in my stomach. I can’t read, the silence is ear-splitting, the emptiness inside me is consuming me from the inside out and the letters in the book are floating from the pages.

I keep telling myself to keep calm. You can’t possibly know that something is wrong, that something terrible has happened. I’m debating the feeling in my head, trying to persuade myself of the irrationality of my thoughts, that I’m just imagining things, overreacting. And I come to the conclusion that I can’t know, so nothing has happened.

But still I can’t shake the feeling of unease.

Is the concept of intuition only a descriptive term referring to the ability to piece fragments and clues together and accomplish – on the surface – astonishing premonitions? Or is there more to it, a part that science has yet to explain? I honestly don’t know what to believe.

For now I wait and see…... hopefully I can dismiss this feeling as paranoid thoughts by tomorrow.
