The last thing Charlie sees every night before turning out the light is St. Sarah's face smiling from a painting on the altar across the room. And somewhere deep inside, that courage smiles back. Then morning comes. And somehow, you get up and go back into the daily struggle. This week on Creation's Paths, Charlie and Brian walk with Netzach: the energy on the Tree of Life that keeps things moving forward, the green drive that refuses to stop. They follow the Four Paths through dandelions breaking concrete, ships with no rudder finding shore, and three little birds singing so loud on the windowsill you'd think an alarm was going off. What's wanting to be born in us right now is not a strategy for surviving empire. It's something older, smaller, and far more stubborn than that.
Matthew Fox calls it 1+1=3: one tradition meeting one life makes a third thing no one expected. Creation’s Paths: A Creation Spirituality Primer is that third thing and an invitation to find yours.
Creation’s Paths is a Christopagan Creation Spirituality community rooted in the conviction that creation is original blessing, not original sin. If this episode found you at the right moment, you are welcome here.
