We debated whether the world was finite or infinite. Because this was an academic question it was debated. In winter at Koviashuvik infinity is finite. If the fire goes out infinity is real. We feed the fire because reality is real at Koviashuvik.
Thanksgiving comes after the sun goes.
The sun disappears as the earth tips and hides the sun in the south for more than two months. We do not see the sun for seventy-seven days. For seventy-seven days we have no direct sunlight. We see its light on the moon and the snow sparkles from reflected sunlight from the moon and stars. Stars are suns.
