I just watched a few Indian versions and the sound piece from Indonesia.
Only ritual now: after I cook (not very often) I lightly bow to the 4 directions.
Since I live next to the Hudson, easy.
North,
South,
East,
West.
One day I was doing this and wondered if all "in the name of the father, son, holy ghost (both shoulders & quick kiss of fingers), might that be a form of the directions?
I am listening to "Is a River Alive" by Robert Mcfarlane.
Thanks Steve.

Gorgeous. Heartbreaking.
His narration is essential.
