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!

The beloved opens a window (not a mirror) for me into the expanded universe of existence.



"I longed to penetrate and pass through my beloved!  So that she would open a window for me into the expanded universe of existence (not a mirror) . . ."

Rainer Maria Rilke
