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!

Faith is the supreme lake.


"Faith liberates you from suffering and delivers you to the city of peace and happiness.  It is faith that removes the mental turbidity and makes your mind clear.  Faith is the supreme lake because you can easily traverse from one stage of the spiritual path to another."

The Dalai Lama
