Over the River Ohio,
a kettle of vultures
stirs in circular flight,
a swirling halo
sewn by light.
They have taken vows
of silence, these plain-
robed monks
of the heavens.
Theirs an enviable
ascension—
with tonsured heads
bowed prayerfully
towards the ground.
Praise vultures soaring.
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.
Beautiful imagery!
Thank you!
