When I head out to my father or father in laws (Saskatchewan) farm, I usually ponder the vast empty field for a while. One time when I was at my father in laws, I said "it's kinda eerie how quiet it is" and he told me a story. A Japanese man had been working at a nearby oil town and had befriended my father in law. He wanted to be left alone in a field to enjoy the quite so he took him to a spot and left him there for a few hours. When my father in law came back, the Japanese man was sobbing.
