I stopped posting on my blog when I (involuntarily) left Afghanistan in February. All my friends are relieved i'm home safe. For whatever reason I never really felt i was in danger. Tonite as I read Karen Woo's blog, I realize i'm still there -in Imagistan. Hardly a day passes when I dont think about my students. I would like to post their photos but I cannot. Karen Woo was one of the ten medical workers killed by the Taliban last month. An excerpt from her blog is in the October issue of Harpers. In one of her last posts just before she heads into Nuristan, she debates whether to wear nail polish-this is not frivolous.
