Why Were You Born?

Posted by John C. Robinson | Jan 29, 2026 | Poetry | 0 |

Why Were You Born?

Why were you born
in this particular time and place?
With this mother, this father,
this family and its ancestral past,
this moment in history?
What does this confluence say
about your spiritual work on Earth?
Ask yourself “Why now?”

~

John Robinson has written 15 books, the last three of which are revelations coming through to him as mystic poetry. His final book is Into The Light: Death, Dying, & Beyond which he offers at the lowest possible price as his thanks to readers.

The Braided Way

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.
