I don't have one single best moment. What I do have is . . .<Snip> . . . a particular feeling. Not from any one time or place, but one that's kept me sane all these years. I've had it diving, caving, beaching, but most of all out in the bush, alone. I'm sure some of you know it, too. <Snip> The whole world is laid out below you, and you're so intensely alive, so totally in the place and the moment, that it's a kind of Nirvana - unity with the whole of existence.
As Byron put it:
And thus I am absorbed, and this is life
(and elsewhere)
I live not in myself, but become portion of that around me and, to me, high mountains are a feeling . . .
*ahem*
Sorry about all the metaphysical claptrap.
And the poetry.
But you did ask . . .
But that's my memory. My best thing about the bush. I don't ever want to be able to go out there and not feel that. Losing that would be a worse death than anything else.
