Not That I Really Know

not that i really know

the brown bag prophet
said
i ain’t no
philosophy
barely finished
high school
but
i’ve been reading
different things
bout’
the critical spirit
how it can
hold back
religious enlightenment
you know
by asking
too many questions
trying to get to the bottom
of things
rather than
accepting the rituals
place before you
as
others have done
but
i was wondering
why anyone
would want to plant
a seed
that
cannot grow

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.
