Boulder Quote of the Day: Quiet Strength Along Boulder Creek

  “Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.” — Lao Tzu Boulder Creek is one of the quiet constants in this town. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t demand attention. It simply flows—day after day, season after season—shaping the land…

  “Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.” — Lao Tzu Boulder Creek is one of the quiet constants in this town. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t demand attention. It simply flows—day after day, season after season—shaping the landscape and the rhythm of life around it. That’s why this quote from Lao Tzu feels like it was written with Boulder Creek in mind. At first glance, water appears gentle. It moves around obstacles instead of confronting them. It doesn’t push or force its way forward. And yet, over time, nothing …

What Boulder Taught Us in 2025: Community, Nature, and the Power of Simplicity

As 2025 comes to a close, Boulder, Colorado offered a quiet reminder that progress does not always arrive with noise. It often shows up in smaller moments — a familiar trail, an evening walk, a shared smile, or a routine that grounds us. This past year wasn’t defined by extremes or spectacle. In…

As 2025 comes to a close, Boulder, Colorado offered a quiet reminder that progress does not always arrive with noise. It often shows up in smaller moments — a familiar trail, an evening walk, a shared smile, or a routine that grounds us. This past year wasn’t defined by extremes or spectacle. Instead, it reflected something steadier and more meaningful: a return to what truly works. Boulder didn’t chase trends in 2025. It leaned into what it already knew — connection, balance, and the steady comfort of everyday rituals. Nature as a Daily Companion, Not a Getaway In 2025, Boulde…

As 2025 comes to a close, Boulder’s food scene tells a clear story. This was not a year defined by flash or over-the-top trends.

The Health & Fitness Trends That Defined Boulder in 2025

In 2025, Boulder didn’t chase fitness trends—it refined them. While much of the country cycled through workout crazes and high-intensity fads, Boulder leaned into something quieter, more sustainable, and deeply rooted in how people actually want to live. The year marked a clear shift away from p…

In 2025, Boulder didn’t chase fitness trends—it refined them. While much of the country cycled through workout crazes and high-intensity fads, Boulder leaned into something quieter, more sustainable, and deeply rooted in how people actually want to live. The year marked a clear shift away from performative fitness and toward long-term health, daily movement, and recovery-driven wellness. It wasn’t about doing more. It was about doing better. Three trends stood out above the rest: a renewed walking culture, outdoor fitness replacing indoor workouts, and a growing focus on longevity, mo…

What Surprises First-Time Visitors About Boulder

Most people arrive in Boulder with a clear picture already in mind. The Flatirons in the background, Pearl Street in the foreground, and the sense that everything revolves around hiking boots and smoothie bowls. That picture is not wrong, but it misses what actually stays with you. The real surpr…

Most people arrive in Boulder with a clear picture already in mind. The Flatirons in the background, Pearl Street in the foreground, and the sense that everything revolves around hiking boots and smoothie bowls. That picture is not wrong, but it misses what actually stays with you. The real surprises appear between destinations, in moments that feel unplanned and oddly personal. Boulder reveals itself quietly, and that contrast often catches first-time visitors off guard. Boulder Feels Smaller — And More Intimate — Than Expected Despite its reputation and national visibility, Boulder …

I Prepare to Take a Bullet

Every day that us Boulder students go to school, we prepare—quietly—for the possibility of a bullet. That sentence should sound impossible. Instead, it sounds familiar. I think I learned that familiarity long before I understood it. It started, for me, with a license plate. The License Plate…

Every day that us Boulder students go to school, we prepare—quietly—for the possibility of a bullet. That sentence should sound impossible. Instead, it sounds familiar. I think I learned that familiarity long before I understood it. It started, for me, with a license plate. The License Plate I Didn't Understand Yet  When I was little, my mom drove me around Colorado in a car that wore one of the prettiest license plates I’d ever seen: a columbine flower floating in a blue-sky background, a soft lavender stripe, and two simple words stamped across the bottom, “Respect Life.” …

Tim’s Top 10 Films of 2025

In a general sense, 2025 sucked. The United States seems to have been transformed into a foul combination of kakistocracy and plutocracy, while sliding pell mell into fascism.

In a general sense, 2025 sucked. The United States seems to have been transformed into a foul combination of kakistocracy and plutocracy, while sliding pell mell into fascism. Innocent people are being arrested and disappeared to God knows where. Real Christianity feels further away than ever, while gleeful cruelty feels like the law of the land. It would be an understatement to say that things are not great. In a cinematic sense, however, 2025 kind of kicked ass. This year, we had excellent genre films, smart blockbusters, affecting documentaries, and indie films that punched far beyond th…

On rare, crystal-clear days in Boulder, the horizon opens up and reveals something special — a distant, snow-capped summit rising high above the Front Range. That peak is James Peak, standing tall at 13,294 feet, quietly watching over Boulder from the Continental Divide. While Boulder is famous for its close-up mountain drama — the Flatirons, Bear Peak, and Green Mountain — James Peak offers a different kind of beauty. It’s not immediate or towering overhead. Instead, it appears far in the distance, subtle yet powerful, its white summit often visible when the air is clean and the ligh…

Some quotes don’t need interpretation. They arrive with a truth that feels immediately familiar. Mark Twain’s words about kindness are one of those rare reminders that cut through noise and complexity with clarity. Kindness, he suggests, doesn’t rely on explanation or shared language. It’s understood instinctively, felt rather than analyzed. “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Mark Twain That idea resonates deeply in Boulder. This is a place where people slow down just enough to notice one another. Whether it’s a brief smile on a tra…
