Love is quiet
breathing in the gasps of lovers,
passion spent.
Love is gentle with arms outstretched to comfort those
whom life breaks.
Love is kind
it eases hurt with a smile
least damage break the glass of life.
Love is true
caring for the loved before itself
silent lest the planets halt.

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.
