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!

There is no real certainty until you burn.



"Don't abide in borrowed certainty.  There is no real certainty until you burn; if you wish for this, sit down in the fire."

Jelaluddin Rumi
