His music sounds lost,
as if he’s never seen a swan.
It sounds found again,
as if he has taken up a young
lady’s invitation
to bathe in her clawfoot tub.
His music sounds lost,
as if he has witnessed
a ritual drowning.
It sounds found again,
as if a bigger planet’s mass
is tugging at his tides.

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.
