Let the thoughts have their space; focus on the nose, and embrace the thoughts. Really focus on the details of the nose and act as if it's an incredibly interesting thought and image that you want to know more about. Once they've gotten the satisfaction of having space to exist instead of being pushed away, they'll leave you alone.

"Sometimes you will act as an angel to others, perhaps without even realizing it. One day a woman comes up to you and says 'You saved my life'. You look at her astonished, trying to remember the last time you even saw this person before, the meeting meant so little to you at the time. 'Don't you remember? I was standing on the bridge, staring at the water, and you passed and said 'Good morning'."
