the open sky
,,,,tufts like spun sugar . . .
white with sunlight
layered on an endless blue blessing
free-form
and unbounded
. idly floating . . . waiting on nothing
not the brightness of day
nor the cool calm night
….present with our pleasure
. . . we eye one another
my silent mind…
their silent flow
. . . . . . occasional storms
. . .mostly languid though . . .
peaceable
. . . as the blue upon which they rest…
cresting
…their charism weightless as sea foam,
they brush my imagination
at the matrix of our shared meditation

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.

This reminds me of a poem I wrote long ago…I’m right back in that place. I love the idea of a shared meditation with clouds. Their contemplation of us may not be as peaceful! 😉

What a beautiful way to illustrate this concept. I’m an avid cloud-watcher from way back, and I like how you have captured the serenity that it can bring. “Matrix of our shared meditation” is such an apt and perfect description!
