Wandering in Afghanistan…

When my Afghan friends and I visited this remote Sufi shrine in Afghanistan, we wanted to spend the afternoon there to soak in its peaceful atmosphere–but we knew it was too dangerous to rest in any one place for too long…

Love is the ark appointed for the righteous,
which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition…

— Rumi
