Sarah.

This is my partner, Sarah. She climbs, thinks, explores, works, grunts, loves deeply, makes silly mouth noises, hikes, seeks, inspires, teaches, gives, and most of all she doesn’t stop doing any of those things – ever. She’s an amazing, beautiful, strong, educated, independent, empowered, intelligent, enlightened woman who teaches me something new about myself every day. She lives well, eats better, works hard, thinks smarter, never complains (unless she hasn’t eaten), loves a good trail, runs harder than me, does more pull-ups than me, can debate me into a corner, carries more water, cooks better food, is more disciplined and I’m finding that she has the capacity to love more fiercely than anyone I’ve ever met. Her laugh is intoxicating, her perspective balanced and when she smiles, you smile too – you just can’t help it. She’s usually unforgivingly focused and bullish but always exquisitely graceful and feminine.

Sometimes, you just gotta call it what it is.
