2020 was very challenging for me in many aspects. From personal challenges, to a worldwide pandemic, times of trouble were plenty over the last year. As tough as it got, I found balance and peace in nature. Honestly, the trail was probably my personal therapist. The wild reveals it all. It left no emotion untouched. I had days in the wild sitting by a lake, suddenly crying the tears for those we have lost. Days that I was overjoyed at the new places I was able to see and touch. A sense of accomplishment for the mountains I was able to climb, and the love affair with the dirt of the wild under my feet. Nothing was ever left unresolved on my journeys. It has been said that the trails you travel today become the paths of our future. Nature defines us, it heals us, it can destroy us, and is at the very root of who we are. When I found myself in times of confusion or fear, I let nature show me the way.
This retrospective video for 2020 was extra special all things considering. When you put an entire year of content together in a year like this one, it reminds me that even in the toughest times, life is beautiful and precious. The wild is powerful. It is mysterious. It is life changing. Change is not comfortable. It was never meant to be.
Be Kind. Stay Safe. Stay Human.
Happy New Year!
