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!

Wholeness is being in tune with all things.


 "To explain wholeness, one must go back to the very depths of being, for it is involved with all that has gone before - man's entire evolution and the imprint of millennia on his consciousness.  It is harmony and oneness, the antithesis of fragmentation, emptiness, and frustration . . . It is being in tune with waters and rocks, with vistas and horizons, with constellations and the infinity of time and space."
