Directions

 So neither hot nor cold is the east from west, but maybe as you travel north or south these elements might apply.  What follows is mostly Lakota cosmology. 

Is direction persistent?  It seems clear that all directions can not be one, else there really wouldn't be directions.  One thing is clear in my mind, conclusions are really not drawn from the directions.  We must always find that certain direction, from three other places, that we always must face, as we do face the directions.  And what are these directions, ?  We have been taught in various ways, from above, from below, and from what is in between.  So although we often think that the directions are 4, or sometimes we even think that the directions are as few as two, what ?, the directions are 7.

So, I have been wondering what would have happened if John Kennedy was not shot, LBJ, had not been the president, JFK got re-elected for his second term, and turned out to be a real jerk.  Well, Nixon would still have been elected in 1968.   So, maybe it was always inevitable.  LBJ, would never have made that unusual - will not run, or walk, or even drift in that direction speech, because why?  He wanted to put his --- country --, first.  Curious way to think.  Of course Hubert Humphrey won Texas.  Imagine that.

So eggs will get scrambled, but the directions always must remain, as they are, even when we can't find them.
