"No, all seemed right to me at that moment.  It was one of the few times I 
felt: this is the way things are and should be.  I had medicine then, that's 
the only word for it.  I knew where the center of the world was.  A 
remarkable feeling, in which time turns in a circle, and he who stands at the 
core has power over everything that takes the form of line and angle and 
square.  Like Old Lodge Skins... within the little circle of his band, but 
concentric around them was all the other Cheyenne, present and past, living 
and ghost, for the Mystery is continuous."
