Welcome! I am a contemplative thinker and photographer from Colorado. In this blog, you'll discover photographs that I've taken on my hiking and backpacking trips, mostly in the American West. I've paired these with my favorite inspirational and philosophical quotes - literary passages that emphasize the innate spirituality of the natural world. I hope you enjoy them!

A love unconcerned with reciprocity never says "You owe me!"


Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,

"You owe 
Me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky
