One of the coolest sounds that catch us by surprise is an echo.  I remember the first time I noticed it standing in an empty church or being in a canyon.  It is kind of funny to hear ourselves coming back at ourselves.  We tend to think of echoes as only sounds.  An echo is a reflection of sound energy but it is part of a larger experience of reverberation. Almost literally our energetic vibes replaying. If we think about how much energy we are emitting at any given moment the reality is we creating an echo of more than just sound.  What is it we want to come back to us about us?  What kind of energetic footprint do we want to send out before us?  What kind do we want to receive from others? When we are connected to the truth of who we are we recognize the echo because we know it is us.  When we see people imitate us we get a glimpse of how what we are sending out in our echo is what we want.  Sometimes it is concrete and specific to a circumstance.  Yet most of it is happening on a level that requires a deeper connection to what is going on within us. If we want the echo of our sound and other kinds of energy to come back to us as a reflection of the truth of who we are, we need to first connect to it ourselves.  Taking the time to pause and check-in is what God has taught me on our daily dates of prayer and meditation.  Creating a space in my life where it is acceptable to say what is, remind myself of who I truly am, and with curiosity explore the elements of myself I do not or perhaps do not want to know.  God is ready to hold the space where we can get to know ourselves whenever we are.  God knows our true echo is love but we need time to get to know it about ourselves.  Taking the time is what will cultivate an echo we look forward to hearing.
