This Afghan girl graced the cover of National Geographic in June of 1985. It is now possibly the MOST sought magazine cover in the world. I started searching for her tonight for other reasons, but as soon as I saw her again I only wanted to post it. I want you to remember this about Afghanistan, no matter what, there IS beauty there. Piercing, and persistant, the beauty of these people must surely be celebrated. And if we can toast thier beauty, surely we can find a better day than the ones that bring death to so many. It is time to stop it now. It is time for beauty to count atleast as much as tyranny. To blind ourselves to it, we have failed in the most simple of Gods tests. For if we can not protect and love beauty, even if for a moment, then whats the point....?
