Last week they were << blown up by the Taliban. Not just by the Taliban, but by nature-denying << authoritarian worldviews that go back much farther than Islam. The whole << world lost another bit of beauty, generosity, and inspiration last week. << May we keep our minds clear and calm in the present moment, and honor the << dust. << << Not even << under mortar fire << do they flinch; << the Buddhas of Bamiyan << take refuge in the dust. <
