Sirius extends a beam to me.
I like to imagine it’s my mother,
reaching down for me, her eldest.
I want to raise my arm and grasp
her numinous hand, just to feel
our connection again, even if only
for an instant. Instead I cup my hands
together like a cracked bowl to let
starlight pool in my palms. But when
I look, there are only shadows there.
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.
Would it be okay with you if I find more than shadows?
