ceremony.  While  I  am  standing  back  in  the  tunnel,  a
young  Indian  woman  comes up to me.  She puts her arm
around my waist  and  walks  with me into the cave,  down
the path and  out among the dancers.  She dances with me
briefly  and  then  leaves  me  with  another  partner. [The
fire gives off plenty of light but no heat. As aconsequence,
it is not unduly warm.]  While dancing,  I  suddenly realize
that  my  steps  are  exactly  the  opposite  of all the other
dancers'.  I  am momentarily  uncertain  about  what to do.
Then  the  woman  who  had  brought  me  into  the cave is
back at my side and tells me that I am doing just fine. She
begins to dance with me,  matching her steps to mine. The
dance works  just  as  well  with  my  backward  steps as it
does with the regular steps.

     A ballroom full of couples who are dancing to the song,
"Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree."

      I am alone in the middle of the desert at twilight.  I am
sitting on the driver's seat of an old-fashioned buckboard.
I  hold the reins but there are no horses to pull the wagon.
I  have a long white beard  and long white hair.  Encircling
my  head  is  a  cardboard  ring  painted  gold.  Suddenly a
young girl appears out of the ground with a horse. Silently
she  hitches  the  horse  to  the  wagon,  then  goes around
back   and   climbs   aboard.   Suddenly  there  is  a  shiny,
pointed gem sticking  up  out of the front of the cardboard
ring  around   my  head.  Then,  appearing  from  nowhere,
others  come,  each  with  his  own horse.  As each silently
hitches  his  horse   to   the  wagon  and  climbs  on  board,
another gem-point appears on the cardboard ring.  Finally
there are seven people on board and there are three pairs
of  horses  with  a  single  lead horse.  The  sky  has  been
growing lighter  and  the  people  are murmuring about the
strangeness that  as  the  hour  grows  later the sky grows
brighter.  Finally it becomes like broad daylight,  although
there is no sun in the sky.  I  start  to drive and as soon as
the wheels  start  rolling,  we  are  no  longer in the desert.
