The Prophet Ezekiel by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
“Imagine a big, deep blue swimming pool. It’s mid-August. Hot. You’re sweating. As you step toward the edge, you spot a bright yellow ducky float bobbing lazily in the water, calling you in. You can practically feel the cool splash as you dive into the water.”
Now pause—whose thought was that?
Most people answer, “Mine.” After all, you just imagined it. You felt it. You were there.
But it wasn’t your thought.
It was mine—Addison’s.
I placed the picture in your mind. You just followed it.
Here’s the truth that sneaks up on you:

So then…
Whose voice are you actually listening to?
