We should answer the greening oak
that calls us to sit down and lean
against its trunk, seeking wisdom.
We should witness lilacs bursting into
bloom, follow the waves of sweetness
they send out to call the bees.
Becoming oak, becoming lilac bush,
we join the greater family of those who
speak tree, those who can blossom.
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.
