A high-angle view from a hiking trail in Smith Rock State Park, Oregon, looking down on a winding path, a small building with solar panels, and the Crooked River with its bridge. The scene is dominated by massive volcanic rock formations under a clear, bright blue sky, capturing the dramatic beauty of the high desert.

When our legs finally gave out
at the peak of the ridge
and we collapsed and laughed and played in the dirt
the sun’s sting
against our skin
barely registered

Remember the naïveté
we started the day with
the spring beneath our feet when we first set off?

We ran up the first three switchbacks
gleeful in our energy
without the slightest idea
of everything it would take from us
the true cost of joy
