ONCE IN HIS LIFE
N. Scott Momaday
Once in his life a man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth…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 motions of the wind. He ought to recollect the glare of noon and all the colors of the dawn and dusk.
