This lovely piece (peace!) from Genie at “Palestine Rose.” When I reblogged this post of Genie’s on “The Cat’s Meow,” Genie wrote this in response to one comment: “With a sad heart and shaky nerves from not sleeping well since the attack on Gaza, I find refuge in knowing there is a cure for war and hatred. I am glad I wrote the poem before ‘israel’ attacked Gaza full scale, it helps remind me that on a personal level we must all be gentle as lambs and strong as lions. And as Savannah, said so eloquently: ‘Thank [Goodness] for the ability of animals to show humans what acceptance and appreciation of differences can do to enhance every life.'” I recommend regular visits to Genie’s blog. In spite of all that is going on in her homeland, you will find peace and beauty in our heroic poet, “Palestine Rose.” Jamie Dedes

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page. View All Posts
