Momaday

When I watched this sunset between Shaunavon and Eastend and battled some serious mosquitos to do so, this Momaday quote came to mind from Way to Rainy Mountain:
"...Once in his life a man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth, I believe. He ought to give himself up to a particular landscape in his experience, to look at it from as many angles as he can, to wonder about it, to dwell upon it. He ought to imagine that he touches it with his hands at every season and listens to the sounds that are made upon it. He ought to imagine the creatures there and all the faintest moments of the wind. He ought to recollect the glare of noon and all the colors od the dawn and dusk."
