You live inside walls
wallswallswallswalls of
feardoubtfeardoubtfeardoubt.
You run into them,
bounce back broken,
bruises you can’t see.
For years. Then one day
in one late decade you pause–
sit down, get quiet, listen,
stay still. Your molecules
loosen, your density lightens
breath breathes you. And,
the walls dissolve into air
and belief, all they ever were.
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.
