The sound resonated deep and loud
like a bull moose announcing
his prowess in a distant forest
under tall aromatic evergreens
for each time it reached her ears
she realized how close the notes
of music came from the bedroom
of her oldest daughter playing
the oboe she toted home of a day
whose length was as tall as she
that the teacher announced to her
no one really wanted to play
so her pondering how it happened
a tiny girl could have enough air
evaporated as she balanced the oboe
on the floor when she sat to exhale

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.
