The Veil

It feels like I can't punch through a veil today.  It seems like there is a veil between me and God...like a bubble or a force-field surrounding me.  My prayers just seem to stop and vaporize.

Thinking about it, I realize that my mind keeps wandering.  Wandering to all the things that keep filling my mind, things I'm working on.  Things I need to get done.  Things that aren't right.

I am reminded of a book I read last year during Lent about simplifying the soul.  Given the above, I'm guessing my mind is too full.  I need to simplify, to stop the 'so much going on' in my life so that I can simply pray.

...so the veil can vaporize and I can just 'be' with God again.
