    I love the imagery in this poem. I can taste the flavors he mentions and see the foods he is describing.

    Moudi, what a gorgeous poem! “our tongues prostrated out as altars, our mouths humbled as begging bowls.” Reading it is a sensory experience, and a sacrament1

The Braided Way

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.
