“To their fellow monks they show the pure love of brothers; to God, loving fear; to their abbot, unfeigned and humble love.” – Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 72
Way, way beyond, beyond cool
You ease along at your own pace
Letting life come to you
Living your life according to the Rule
Each day a gift, gift received
And given back to the Giver of all good things
That crooked smile and all the while
Those eyes, oh those eyes ALIVE
Forever young and fired, fired
By the soul of Ireland
By the soul of Ireland
