The hem of your luminous garment
must have brushed me just now –
my atoms suddenly chimed
scaring away all thoughts
but a sense of you, Beautiful One.
On what ground do you stand
to juggle suns and moons?
Your coat must be so vast
that every fish in the ocean
swims in your pockets.
I want to catch onto your sky-hem
as it flickers through the clouds.
I want to wrap my heart deep
into your galaxy-spangled cloak.
Was that truly You? Who else
could have such a fragrance?
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 often reach to touch His hem. It thrilled me to think it might touch me without my own effort.
I’m glad to know the poem touched you! I often feel my efforts are pretty puny but the grace comes unexpectedly. Maybe just because I tried to reach out.
Rock and roll!
Thanks!
I often have the rare experience that must have been like that of Mozart’s spouse. Just amazement with a large slice of WOW!
Lovely, Rachel. Thank you!
