Cleave to the eaves in spring
rain, our t-shirts stick to
our bodies. Birdsong raucous
before dawn unchains me.
There is no reason to go on
adulting is make-believe
in this economy of wild straw-
berries and green onion. If only
you would message me direct,
forgotten father of much un-
needed discipline. Your prayers
prey upon the shifty rabbit of
my mind. Mine, the abandoned shaft.
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.
Oh this is so lovely. I especially liked this line–“Birdsong raucous/before dawn unchains me”–with its ambiguity of subject (who’s unchaining, the birdsong or the dawn?). .
