As always, great insights and a wonderful read (listen). Your points remind me of the concept and belief that one's "words" have power and have meaning. Right thinking, Right Speaking, Right Action...comes to mind.

If we are able to take that pause between the situation and our reaction, like Viktor Frankl talks about, we can make sure that our words or actions are meaningful, thoughtful, and appropriate. If one speaks without thinking, can they honestly have a discussion or are they simply waiting their turn to speak.

Again, great stuff to sit back and think on. Thanks for the Light.

Miss you too Brother David! I've not attended Lodge since the start of the pandemic in 2020ish. I'm planning on attending the dinners at Oly 1 next month and get back into things!

Thank you Brother! I'm glad that you found value in the essay. And yes, I agree very strongly, words and thoughts have power, a lot more power than most people realize.
