A jazz saxophonist once put it this way: “Music pulls me deeper into being.”
Being is prayer that helps form the ears of our hearts. Music can take us there. So can a good conversation. So can contemplation or liturgy or whatever it is that opens us up to receive the hidden truth beneath all things. And then, maybe at a time we least expect it, our hearts, as if attuned to a cosmic radio, become the station for divine song to rise.
