Now that anything can happen
While the moon looms closer than it’s been since my birth
Shall I be the lunatic to them, or they to me?
Now that anything an happen
While we bicker about who’s fault it is
Shall I be able to listen to the heart that beats inside those I could despise?
Now that anything can happen
While we act or don’t act at preventing another Reichstag, this time in this country.
Shall I be visible with slogans, or invisible, while speaking our words of hope
In secret places, safe from harm?

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.
