becoming the prayer

A lyric from an Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros song that sums up mantra meditation. In mantra meditation we get quiet, we get still, and let the mantra unfold. Meditation is an opportunity for us to spend time not in the part of us that is the do-er, but in the part of us that is being. Not the pray-er, but the prayer.
