Tonight, after my 2 daughters watch Harry Potter's last film starting at midnight we shall drive them to our cottage in 'the bush' - blackflies and all. What I find amazing is that Canada has a vast area of real wilderness that is quite accessible to most, and yet very few Canadians go there. For some reason they prefer Disney World or Rome. My theory on this is that most of us are uncomfortable with 'nothing', with silence, with just "being there" and melding into the landscape which is what the 'bush' experience is all about.
So - for all you going to the Bush this summer - good on you! - and for the rest of you landlubbers - give it a whirl - perhaps you will be able to hear your own heart beating...
