Our last post for this week is a really excellent, deep philosophical post by 
@creationofcare, who asks us to open our minds and think a little differently about the world. She then heads out into the mountains and shows us what she means as she does a strenuous yet highly rewarding hike where we get to see lots of great nature photos and mountain vistas!
