Standing in the rain I stripped off my clothes to my underwear. I stepped forward and picked up a cup that had been resting in the sand. Pouring the water from the cup I inscribed a square in the sand around my feet. In front of me there was a shovel planted in the sand with its handle pointed upwards like a monument. I knelt on the sand inside the square. I picked up a head covering that I had woven out of green reeds and placed it on my head. It blocked out my vision. I dug my fingers into the sand and pulled out a handful, extending my arms toward the shovel. I remained in this position for 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I placed the sand down on the ground and removed the head covering. Stepping out of the rain, I put my clothes back on.
