The Boxer

 Interior Prayer is like a boxer in the ring.  The boxer has to stay undistracted, and focused on what is in front of him/her, or else the fight will have no chance of success.  In meditation, there can be a lot of distractions in the mind or from sounds/sights around us.  We have to ignore all that so we can be focused on what we are trying to do.  We sort of close ourselves off from the mind so that we can be open to the heart where the battle with ourselves is enacted.  In recovery meetings one must focus on what is being said, while distractions may go on around the room.
