The Floor of Mecca is White
March 19th, 2020
----------------------------------------
I saw a picture of Mecca today, and specifically the space
surrounding the Ka'bah at the center. It was empty. Not a single
soul praying, doing their seven circles or otherwise fulfilling
the hajj. It was eerie. It was also white.
The floor, specifically, is a bright white. I guess I've never
noticed, or never seen it clearly. It's always covered in people.
Perhaps it was obvious to others. It has lingered with me.
