lost yellow stream
lost boggy ravine
where the boy with
dinner roll legs toppled
in & vanished
lost doughy boy
lost straying creek
buried now beneath
potholes, sooty floors
& children’s feet
lost boys & girls
lost woods, lost water
changeable earth
sown with towers of
borrowed light

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.
