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!

Self-Death in exchange for the Divine Kiss; what a bargain!


I would love to kiss You.
"THE PRICE OF KISSING IS YOUR LIFE!"

Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
"What a bargain, let's buy it!"
