Your face is a map
of all the wars
you ever fought,
physical, mental,
against others,
against yourself.
You think those lines
might have softened
when your heart ceased.
You think you might
have had some peace
then, some peace,
you would think,
some peace,
I would hope,
if your splintered life
had not disproved the possibility
of its existence.

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.
