Impossible to capture
one sliver of this moment
just as it crystallizes,
becomes precious
a trembling courses through its fibers,
it shatters like a touched artifact.
Grasping at the layers
of the day as if
to hide ones nakedness,
still the day retreats
perhaps proving it knows better.
Wandering through our labyrinths
we cannot see beyond the walls
(let alone within)
to the treasure unspoken, unspeakable
but here; a map, a candle.
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.
Especially “unspeakable.” Both the ancient Hebrews and the Oglala Sioux called it “unspeakable.” Good job.
