Winter’s window is spangled with delicate raindrops
like stars on the shard of the night-sky.
If you’ve ever wondered about calm in a world
of noise, listen again
to the gentle sound of rain
falling
on the tarred roads, the glass, the roof-
a slow steady ticking
against the gravel of time
reminding you that gratefulness is silence
warming itself by the fireplace
this very moment.
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.
