The title of this religious and spiritual poem refers to The Rule of Saint Benedict, a praise of the prologue which begins with the instruction to be aware, to listen, and this means with the heart, mind, and spirit. Heart being especially important. These words appear in the poem by Benedictine Oblate Peter Menkin who lives in Mill Valley, California USA and is part of the monastic order of New Camaldoli, Big Sur, California: Savoring the words of meaning in The Rule is an offering for understanding "...let us open
our eyes to the light..." and come to know language--arise from a sleep
--to listen.
