It was something Frank Sam Nakai had instructed him to do. Memorize
places, his uncle told him. Settle your eyes on a place and learn
it. See it under snow, and when the first grass is growing, and as
the rain falls on it. Feel it and smell it, walk on it, touch the
stones, and it will be with you forever. When you are far away, you
can call it back. When you need it, it is there in your mind. Tony
