I'm reading Seeking God: The Way of St. Benedict by Esther de Waal. Its essentially a laymen's commentary on Benedict's Rule. Great stuff.
One quote grabbed me yesterday. The goal of the Rule of St. Benedict was to produce "a life that is earthed in Christ."
Earthed. That's a great word. Being earthed in Christ--depicts walking with God with a hands-dirty metaphor. Unearthed--a vivid description of disconnection.
