“I want my friends to understand that “staying out of politics” or being “sick of politics” is privilege in action. Your privilege allows you to live a non-political existence. Your wealth, your race, your abilities or your gender allows you to live a life in which you likely will not be a target of bigotry, attacks, deportation, or genocide. You don’t want to get political, you don’t want to fight because your life and safety are not at stake.

“It is hard and exhausting to bring up issues of oppression (aka “get political”). The fighting is tiring. I get it. Self-care is essential. But if you find politics annoying and you just want everyone to be nice, please know that people are literally fighting for their lives and safety. You might not see it, but that’s what privilege does.” / Kristen Tea, motherwiselife.org

The BeZine fosters understanding through a shared love of the arts and humanities and all things spirited; seeks to make a contribution toward personal healing and deference for the diverse ways people try to make moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of a world in which illness, violence, despair, loneliness and death are as prevalent as hope, friendship, reason and birth. Submissions to Jamie Dedes bardogroup@gmail.com

Actively supports peace, environmental sustainability, social justice and a life of the spirit.

Unicorn latent love contrived happiness kindness that can’t be helped excluded from my own language how can one be mad at a unicorn for its rarity?

When The Queen Came to Tea | John Anstie

A little boy in awe, aged six, perhaps more …or thereabouts, it matters little or less. Four years had passed since She had been proclaimed our Queen, our first coronation for a Queen Elizabeth in nearly four hundred years. So young. So pretty. So popular and pure. Around my age there was another little boy […]

Special Section for Summer 2023:Stop Gun Deaths “Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. [aged 1–19].” Full stop. Think about that for a long moment. As motor-vehicle caused deaths for children (ages 1–19) have declined steeply in the U.S. during the first part of the 21st C., gun deaths […]

Assuage with pen ye troubadours | Lorraine Caputo

Assuagement I had awakened my hand aching from words yet to be expressed & foretelling an all-day rain that spilled into the courtyard outside my door It felt like an autumn day, dried palm fronds blown groundward by the wind This all-night rain continues to flow across the patio outside my door With Pen With […]
