When you live with the bushmen you find they are rich in a way in which we have become poor. They pass on something tremendous. They talk, and they say the human being has two hungers. There is the hunger for food, but there is also the great hunger, and that is to be part of the creation. I found that this is what wilderness did for me, and this is what wilderness has done in Africa, in Australia, in America, and all over the world.
