Now in Makkah where al Masjid al Haram in places resembles nothing so much as a building site, especially round the Kaaba. Early this morning - really the middle of the night, around 2.00 - 3.00 am we completed the rites of the umrah for the first time, and the odd thing is that far from in any way detracting from the experience, the surrounding reconstruction seemed to enhance the enigmatic stillness and centrality of the Kaaba itself: the still centre of the turning world.
Perfectly simple.
