Pilgrimage in a burial shroud

(11/10/11 11:00am)

This time last year, I was in Mecca. Almost three million other individuals, journeying from all corners of the globe, joined me at this holy site. Pilgrimage to Mecca, or Hajj, is one of the five pillars of Islam, required of all able-bodied Muslims at least once in their lifetimes before they die. For the nearly two billion Muslims worldwide, Hajj season brings with it the festivities and celebrations of Eid al-Adha, or “the festival of the sacrifice,” which took place this past Sunday.

Get naked

(08/26/11 9:00am)

There we were. All of us—or at least most of us—in front of the Marketplace taking a picture in the shape of our class year. First-year students. Fresh individuals. It may have been the most memorable experience of my first week at Duke, but looking back I can think of an adaptation to the years-old tradition to make it even more memorable: All of us should have been naked.
