In the Presence of the Great Kiva

As we was a sittin’ there a waitin’ on the Great Kiva to enter, we proceeded to lay eyes on just who all the people was that were there to learn the wisdom of the Great Kiva like we was. We’d noticed the light were a little low when we entered the room, makin’ findin’ a seat a bit more of a chore that it should have been. Then while we was a lookin’ around the room we discovered why it were so dark in there.

There was so much white hair a sticking up in that room, that if those lights would have been at full brightness, everyone there would have been suffering from snow blindness. Why even with the lights down, some of them must have been a sufferin’, since more that a few of them was wearing the biggest pair of sunglasses we ever did see, and the sun weren’t even out, on account that we was inside this somewhat little Great Kiva place.

We didn’t really know what the Great Kiva looked like, though we had learned enough to know that it was a two in one person. And when it finally did walk in, we didn’t rightly know what to think. It was sure enough a two, but the one was a little hard to grab a hold of. There was this white topped one, and there was this red topped one, both of which proceeded go a sittin’ on stools, and both which were just a smilin’ away like the canary that got out of the coal mine without keeling over. :)

I kept a lookin’ at the white top half, Great Kiva, but hard as I tried, all I could see was a fellar that didn’t look no different than all those other old white topped fellers a sittin’ in the seats around us. Maybe it was like I’d read about them Kiva ceremonies out west, the ones where the Kiva man would sometimes wear a mask to show he was one with whatever group of people he was with at the time.

Then I shifted over to the red top half Great Kiva, and it or her or whatever that apparition was called, looked a lot like all the other ladies in the room, what with her red hair all styled near perfect as possible, and her clothes just as fancy as could be. They was both a perched there, sort of like two chicken hawks out on a snag, just a waiting for something unsuspecting to fly or crawl past them. :)

Now just to put this all into proper perspective, the Great Kiva was supposed to be a talkin’ about choosing an RV, which we had come to understand was what those mobile, mobile homes my city fellar cousin and his cute wife :):) had told Nilda and me about, was really supposed to be called. There was also something about extensive RV living, or some such thing, which were something else the Kiva thing was goin' to be a learnin' everybody about. It sure looked like Nilda and me had our work cut out, absorbing all the Great Kiva had to say when we didn’t have a clue as to what any of what they was a gonna talk about was in the first place.
