My singing teacher
tells me God
is what happens
when you leave the walls
of your life,
which I ponder
on an open hilltop
far from the house,
a sunny
late-autumn day,
whose warmth
will soon be memory,
soon winter
will cover the ground.
I wonder
if I can wall
inside myself
the god-ness
I find today,
carry it down
through the woods,
to the opening
of our grassy yard,
and in, through the red
painted door.
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.
