Removing Blocks

Noon brings challenges.

In quiet times, I sit and think deeply of you, latching myself to your power.

Through they day, when I need you most — where are you? The crush of the world overwhelms.

It is not that I strain to find you. The blocks that keep me from you are no obvious, powerful dam.

❖

I do not even think to seek. The world is too fast, my preoccupations too severe. I do not try and fail to find you: The blocks are the things that cause me not to try.

Bring me back to myself, Lord, to my morning intention, even at noon: let me seek you.

– from the mountain


Consider:

How can I bring morning’s presence even to noon?
