Against Productivity

Against Productivity

Some days, hasn’t the fat fruit
yielded all it can
from your straining grip?


Lay down the rinds–their pressed
and exhausted insides–
leave them–
let the bees feast on what remains.

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.
