What she wants
is not words nor fastenings,
nor doctrine spilling over her
like salt,
nor precincts set off by markers:
This is sacred space.
Wherever she steps is holy ground.
Moving, she traces streams of light
with her hands, her body.
When she listens,
she becomes a spreading tree of silence
that knows only itself.
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.
