The Roads – 6 

Posted by Nay Phone Ni | Apr 25, 2025 | Poetry | 0 |

The Roads – 6 

The journey has begun. 
Where do all the flowers go? 

Without having rested yet, 
I’m startled and awake. 

Before joy takes over, 
The problem 
Seeps into the coffee cup.

The Braided Way

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.
