Or like meteoroids that at times orbit the earth....
Like the moon that moves around the earth

Very informative about why an anti-clockwise direction is taken for perambulation, and other related things
very deep for a simple thinker like me thought provoking must stand back to take it all in excellent write
But you sound like a thinker no less, thanks for a great comment that made me smile too. Best wishes,
Your aesthetic metaphor on the Bohr atom led me to a moral reflection. In Bohr's atom, some states are allowed while others are forbidden. The beauty of discrete spectral emission (light & color) would not be possible without such quantization. Similarly, moral beauty in the human domain comes from self-realization of limits, bounds and forbidden states.
Wow thanks for your scientific evaluation comparison and conclusion in allegory. It's great to hear from a scientist on here!
Poetic observations on the manifestation of form, motion and spirit embodied in the Muslim pilgrimage and its verisimilitude with pure geometry (circle, cube) and the motion inherent in the universe from the infinite to the infinitesimal. The white circulating mass does not discriminate race, color, ethnicity or gender. With a common purpose humanity can transcend all divisions including religion. Difference remains but it is celebrated!
Wow thanks so much poet for a brill intellectual review and addition. May God bless you for your acknowledgement. Religion was meant for unity but we can celebrate the differences peacefully.
I thank you for increasing my knowledge about your religion and the ties it has to the universe. And your knowledge of the heavenlies bogles my mind! ! ! ! A stellar job of writing! ! ! !
Warmest thanks for a stellar comment, you summed it up brilliantly! Take care always. đŸŒº
A truly magnificent piece! You are a fantastic poet. Thank you for sharing.
How I wish I preform Hajj inshallah Amin , this poem really inspired me
The imagery is like the stars themselves in this poem; floating in my mind
Aw warmest thanks for a stellar response, let's float together!
Great poem...abounding with powerful imagery. I particularly like the use of anaphora. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the hajj...a truly wonderful spiritual experience of the Muslim faith....wow! ! !
Wow thanks for teaching me a new term, anaphora ' sounds poetic! And thanks soo much for your nice great heartwarming feedback and thoughts.
Your words are filled with knowledge. Read with interest and great wonder. Thank you Zaynab you have given this work your all.
Yes I tried to give all my passion to this write, glad you noticed. Warmest thanks for your fair impartial thoughts on this and always, you are a soul I admire lots for your fair great understanding of humanity.
it was interesting to read this as i like learning about faith traditions—and learn some things i did—and the parents of kosovar friends have left here to make hajj. they are elderly, and i pray they'll be okay. (i have seen video footage of people in hajj—indeed a mass of humanity! —and have heard of injuries and even death at times because of the crowds. i hope they, as most, will find the experience inspiring, exceeding their expectations. -glen
/cont/..People are actually surprised that they are able to manage, organise and control such a mass of crowds at all without too many accidents. My parents performed hajj without noticing any untoward accidents and I performed the mini hajj without any undesirable events noted so many get lucky. Many also think it's a privilege to die in the holy precincts. Your thoughts and wishes for the pilgrims are noted with appreciation, thanks again,
Thanks so much for your thoughts and comment! Nice of you to pray for others, that's what we try to do too, . Yes accidents happen anywhere ESP when people are careless and negligent, let alone in an overcrowded place teeming with people like Mecca at hajj, it is not surprising.
Infused with spiritual energy, this poem stirs our mind as well as heart. The circular motion is definitely a sign of submission to the creator. A beautiful and intelligent take on the significance of Hajj and the beauty of faith.
I'm impressed how you add to it, how you say it stirs the mind and heart wow. Warmest thanks for your shining comment! Take care and blessings,
Zaynab you experience and write beautifully your experiences in relation to God and the great truths of the world... big like for you.... dr. Riza
Thanks so much for your nice acknowledgement. I like your great works too. In high esteem thanks and regards Doc! And God bless.
....we the Muslim believers in Hajj/Umrah pilgrimage likewise go round and round and orbit the Ka'abah.... anti-clockwise ....To learn the sacredness of life and to respect all life.... //.... Full of spirituality and divine thought which is followed by the entire cosmic world and the scientific theories astronomy, physics and the like. Thanks, zaynab ji, for this amazing write and the detailed Poet's Notes.
Aw my heart is filled with deep admiration and gratitude for your great impartial fair and reasoning understanding of this poem that means a lot to me. Shows you are a great thoughtful, noble soul and I wish more are like you. Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart for your comment!
A philosophic view and a nice poetic description of the pilgrimage. An amazing poem.
Philosophical hmm ok, and all factional backed by science as learnt and expounded in various science features and journals. Thanks so much for your review! God bless!

Pilgrims experience a positive revolutionary change within themselves as they revolve around the awesome sacrosanct cubic Kaaba.../// superb excellent expression on the Abrahamic spirituality
Wow nice to know you are learned and informed as to know that it is Abrahamic from which come the series of religions from Allah, the latest being Islam. Thanks for great excellent reviews
