This piece is from Rev. Terri Stewart’s blog, “Clocked Monk.” It’s an acknowledgement of someone who is involved in doing some rather controversial work regarding civil rights and the justice system. J.D.
Sunny Sunday: Moving to Action
Author: The Bardo Group Beguines
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 βother.β This is a space where we hope youβll delight in learning how much you have in common with βotherβ 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

Thanks! It is always good to challenge our own boundaries. It brings growth, greater understanding, and hopefully loving kindness.

Making others uncomfortable is a way to call into responsibility those who capitulate to a system and then give it the “fallacy of misplaced concreteness”. We invent these concepts; we can also change them while acting like human beings, responsive to nuance and individual circumstance. I like the “shenanigator” portmanteau. π

I love me some shenanigators! I think it is why I focus on spiritual practices so much because it strengthens me to go out and do my own shenanigans.
