I desire to be empty. More and more I wish I could let go of things. To unblur the ever active mind, to pray with focus and clarity. I wish I could be nothing and empty myself so that God could fill me wholly and completely. I am filled mostly with myself. I would rather have no motives, no agenda, no ego, no arrogance, and a quiet empty mind. This  is what I pray for these days…to be emptied. The empty man. Anthrope kene.

 

Lord empty me that I might be filled with you and you alone.

Who is the empty man

that is still in the day

blessed clarity

unburdened

like a new clay pot

ready to be filled

this empty man

this hollow man

who stands in the wind

while the truth echoes

mournfully through

his soul

who is the hollow man
