My daughter’s new friend speaks about her mom
as if butterflies are being released to the air,
her mom who lives across the country yet every day
they meet on the phone, their bond a sensed swirling
around us that is bringing my own mom to me, across
the borders of the veil fluttering open, here
she is now, arriving even from the mouths of people
I have only just met.
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.
