A Little About Me
Sometimes
I go about pitying
Myself,
While I am carried by the wind
Across the sky.
Ga' gandac' (aka George Walters), Ojibway tribal singer
from the translation of Frances Densmore
The mountain that I seek to climb is merely the sublime from which I have grown and to which I continuously wander. I climb not because the mountain is there. I climb because I am here, as if nothing else matters.
Feel free to reach out for adventures in the wild. I work in Carlsbad, NM and have a house in Durango, CO - and I love adventure travel.
