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!

Butting Heads

One of the most challenging aspects of life is the fact that we regularly butt heads with others. These occasions provide an opportunity both to state our convictions, and then to let go in an attempt to see the bigger picture that lies beyond us both. Wisdom teaches us continually to engage in this dance back and forth between the two extremes, which in itself comprises a larger Unity.
