I have no plans in the works for a trip north to Mazar i Sharif on this mission. Nor has there been a UNAMA style bombing and mob slaughter in the recent news to disturb my moral sensibilities. No - I am just glancing through some photos of my recent history in this country. And stopping at the Blue Mosque ... the Shrine of Hazrat Ali and perhaps the tomb of some relative of the prophet.
It’s magic and spirituality are unambiguous.
I have been lucky in seeking out such places. Pilgrimage sites and retreats. Cold stone floors and warm butter tea in Himalayan monasteries. All night chanting in Tamil Nadu temples. The Christian sanctuary on the river at home in LaPêche.
I like a nice park too - with pigeons dancers and their elegant aeronautics. I think about kicking up my heels – but I have yet to fly.
