The Braided Way is a framework to see every faith tradition as a strand, braided into a larger whole of spiritual awareness. In the Braided Way, combining spiritual practice from various faiths allow us to explore sacred experience and wonder in forms that resonate with our personal spiritual needs and sacred intuitions. In today’s culture, many people shun religious dogma, but yearn for spiritual connection. The Braided Way allows the ceremonies and practices of multiple faiths to be available without the confinements of cultural dogma.
I am beyond honored and thrilled. This is a wonderful surprise and I am so grateful.
My congratulations to these other fine poets, and particular congratulations to R.C Wilson who works so hard for the poetry community in northeastern Ohio.
Deep thanks to Laura Grace Weldon for this nomination.
I’m honored to be among these wonderful poems. My heart rises reading each one. I’m so grateful to Braided Way and its many interwoven threads.
