When Grief with its dark bulk
bars your friend’s door,
there are no right words.
In time, Grief will lie down,
close one eye and then the other.
That is when you will hear
my heart, dear friend, drumming
low and steady just outside.
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.
Beautiful.
A poem of soft beauty and understanding. Lovely.
