What is your expectation of wilderness?
I expect it to be good. I love the wilderness, I feel that I shouldn't expect anything from it, but I should have much expected from me. I should be expected to treat it with respect and not to harm it in any way. In feeling that I should expect anything from it, it makes me feel that it owes me something. It doesn't owe me anything; I should owe it a lot, for the wilderness is life. Life for all.
What was the reality of wilderness?
I didn't experience the wilderness. I stayed back because I have an injured back. It rained a lot. I have never seen so much rain. I feel the wilderness plays a big role in my life. I love the outdoors, where I can be alone and fee from all stress of life. The wilderness provides that for me. I value it.
