I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.

The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds
at midnight has been present like an archangel at the
creation of light and of the world

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.

As hard as outsiders have tried to subdue and “re-create” the country in their own image,
Afghanistan has been able to absorb the blows of superpowers, and
remain essentially the same.
Jalalabad
The interesting thing is that the people trying to change it,
change more than the country does even after
Herculean efforts of governments, NGO’s, and coalitions.
The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
- Flora Whittemore
Since the beginning of time, doors have
symbolized both great opportunities and thwarted dreams.
The open door is a metaphor for new life, a passage
from one stage of life to another, and metamorphosis.
Closed doors represent rejection and exclusion.
