(John O Donohue, Eternal Echoes)

Then you know.

When you know.

That. You.

Have the freedom to think differently.

Differently from those who want to determine your thoughts.

Differently from those whom you have to please.

Differently from those who have taken it on themselves to be your thought and belief police.

Differently too….. from the very thoughts that cloud your vision of who your thoughts say you are.

Differently too from the programming of those thoughts, and their effects.

You….in your youness…. can choose.

You…. in your youness …..have freedom

You ….in your youness are separate from the thoughts

Pause. Between the stimulus and the response (Victor Frankl)

You can put that pause there.

Right now, you can choose to look out of your window and think about what you see…. whether thats a tree, a building or a cloud.

You have that freedom. The gap is yours. The gap….might be you.

Until that point of knowing… the thoughts that you didnt realise are doing it are shaping you…..yet…..when….then….all of a sudden….. theres a you emerging beyond, before and within thought.

Consciousness spilling into the poignant pause, and you can, truly can….listen to the pause.

The place where you reside. In your youness.
