From Hilary Mantel’s The Mirror and the Light
If sky’s light dulls the day I die, focus
on horizon’s feathery iridescence.
Imagine it crackling like daredevil
holiday sparklers beckoning you
forward. Do not stop to listen even
if sky bills and coos or wispy
white down tries to bribe your will.
When you finally reach the land
that touches sky you will bow as I did
to an infinity of unclouded splendor.
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.
