No one has any patience anymore. We have to have a plan, and with that we have to meet our own expectations.

In nature nothing is rushed yet everything is accomplished.

Going on the land with no schedule, no cell phone and no strings attached is the best feeling of freedom in the world.

I remember spending more than one night in the bush alone and not even having a campfire or tent. That has a very primal feeling to it. It is sort of magical the first time because scurrying mice became ravenous grizzlies in the dark.
