as i dropped off a few items aunt bea had requested i found her staring at the children on the playground across the street she asked can you pick out who among that group is at risk they all have the same foundation from society in this neighborhood the structure of their future has been created using nothing more than balance and friction to stay upright against the winds of poverty and crime oh i know like the faces on cards a variety of different problems confront each child abuse disability and such and each one must face unique family problems but who’s at risk is it the child is it the family or is it the community she said i know i’m not for sure but i do know that each at risk child is stacked onto the nation’s future forming a house of cards
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.
