Joy is...Juxtaposition.
Hailey Moore @hailey.m.moore is a freelance writer and copyeditor based in Boulder, Colorado. She writes about the outdoors, people and communities and is herself an endurance cyclist and trail runner. She also takes incredible photographs that, like her writing, foreground the beauty of human interactions and incidental moments.
Hailey is a wonderful example of cross-pollination between the arts and athletic arenas, valuing craft in everything she does. Sharing our experiences and passing ideas back and forth was so much fun! We chatted about: connection to place through movement; giving ourselves grace; the mental health benefits of feeling strong; learning to fail; the autonomy of solo bike-packing; introspection and finding a rhythm with yourself on multi-day journeys; strong female friendship; reflections on authentic connection and community; how we present ourselves as writers; deconstructing stereotypes of what a runner or cyclist looks like; self-criticism as motivation; why making stuff is cool; the relationship between writers, story-telling and industry and how outdoor pursuits can be a means of creative expression; being inspired by those doing things differently; space and balance in successful relationships, and finding full presence in time spent outdoors.
