The Color of Now

In our striving
in our struggling
in our climbing
and our reaching
we seem to find ourselves
even farther from
Your Truth.

Help us to empty ourselves
of this need to be above,
unique,
special.
Help us release the need to climb
and stand here firmly on the ground,
touching in to what needs our attention right here,
into what inside is longing to be born.
Lead us into the color of now,
that we might find you again
waiting patiently for us
exactly here,
precisely now.

Lovely, as your words always are. I particularly like "Help us to empty ourselves / of this need to be above, . . ." That speaks to so much.
