Celebrating the Mutual Mirroring of Nature and the Human Spirit
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!

How do YOU interpret this rock art panel?
What
are YOUR thoughts on the meaning of this pictograph? All of the
animals are desert bighorn sheep, except for the one in the middle at
the bottom, which looks like a coyote or dog. The two figures on the
lower right are hunters with spears. How about the two anthropomorph
figures at the top? Are they some sort of guardian spirit of the hunt?

5,000 B.C.E.
