A light, my light, but hardly mine
I tried to leave
Unworthy
Unwell
Can’t contribute
Don’t belong
Yet you sent emoji flowers
Your smiling encouragement
Your poignant example
You sent your gifts
Contribution is not required
Worthy is not production
Health is not a virtue
Belonging is free
You saw me whole
Brokenness included
Mentor never met
Gratitude!

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.
