I do my best thinking when I'm out in the mountains.

Long, uninterrupted hours putting one foot in front of the other creates that rhythm where I reflect on the puzzles I'm working through in my work. But it's not just the rhythm -- I've rarely found this quality of thinking when working out inside. Outdoor recreation is being in relationship with the natural world, and a great deal of inspiration available through observing the biology around us. John Muir knew this well.

This year's Earth Day is unlike many others. We can't gather together to celebrate and honor Earth as we like to each year on April 22nd. Our sacred lands are a gift, and it is our responsibility to protect them and ensure their enjoyment by all. I also want to remind readers to treat each day as indigenous people's day. Advocating for conservation means uplifting their voices, knowledge, and wisdom. All flourishing is mutual, and iIt's human perception that makes the world a gift. To mend our bond with Earth, we must rectify our oppressive and destructive colonial past.
