The center of the monument appeared to be a fountain which was not working. A local Muslim man showed some concern at our presence, and pointed out to us that we were not allowed to stay here. We learned later that perhaps we needed a permit to have a “ceremony” of some sort in this place. We wished to cause no offense, and so we promised only to remain for a very short time.
Karen poured water from an earthen pot into the “fountain” (or was it a drain?) at the center of the monument while we all watched the water slowly bubble down. We all prayed and listened to the Spirit of God.
