Whom Do I Owe

 April 28, 2021 

*Note    I tend to get lost in thought, sometimes so much that I spiral in loops and such just trying to find a way out, but then I often realize my thoughts are where I feel most at home, and I am most alive when my thoughts rest in the great mysteries of life and particularly that of theology and philosophy.

Whom Do I Owe
by: Rev. Jacob Shaw

To whom do I owe this gift of thought,

not a particular thought but thought as a whole.

To whom do I owe for this gift, I did not create it, 

nor, did I work to purchase it, 

it has just been with me, my whole existence, echoing all that I am back at me,

but when I pause, 

just pause.

Even the pause is a gift, and the ability to pause a miracle.

What else pauses in such a way, where pause is both silence and endless vibration. 

In that pause, I experience something else, another gift.

A memory, that all that I am, what I truly am, not what the world makes me to be...

What I am, is a gift, because I was formed by His thought, 

I am the gift to me, from the Ultimate of Gift Givers, the Eternal Thinker. 

The First Thought, the Only thought to really think about. 

so...

Pause, and then think again. What a gift!
