I Sing

Sofia Garcia sings. "Because I'm happy," she tells me. She sings at the trails too. Excessive desert heat doesn't seem to bother her. "¡Hola, hija!" We stop for a bit, chat, and during these fleeting breaks I got to know Sofia and learn what her songs are about. Brought to you by OpenConversation.com

Simple Life

Leah Howlett is one of the fastest on the mountains. I'd heard about her races long before I met her. But this is not a story about endurance and achievements trained human body can attain. It is a story of life, love and humility.  Brought to you by OpenConversation.com

The Sunset Time

Kevyn Rene Calvo Miranda is from Mexico. We first met a couple of years back, by the Piestewa Peak Summit trailhead. He lost nearly two hundred pounds walking the trails regularly, he shared. It spiked my interest in his story at first but... something happened later and entirely altered our conversation.  Brought to you by OpenConversation.com

And, sometimes, one needs to wipe the slate clean to regain the lost aspects of... themselves. This is David Metzler's story. Brought to you by OpenConversation.com
