Grant me a clearing.
The world has already rushed in, before even I sought you. I was delayed, did not seek you early: will you still visit me?
❖
Sweep aside the bustle, Lord, and leave a clearing where I can find you. Let not my late coming prevent our meeting.
Grace and mercy, you visit me upon my need, even in spite of myself.

Where can I slow my pace today?
