blues walkin’ like a woman
slowly down a crooked road
doin’ what’s right what she can
finishing what she began
eyes never blink her oats sowed
blues walkin’ like a woman
once upon a time she ran
staggered to carry the load
doin’ what’s right what she can
her mind stuffed with contraband
anger ready to explode
blues walkin’ like a woman
owning her path an urban
gypsy with dignity stowed
doin’ what’s right what she can
to ignore the proffered plan
to get back what she’s been owed
doin’ what’s right what she can
blues walkin’ like a woman

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.
