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!

Radiance is the core of the Feminine.


"Radiance is the core of the Feminine.  Whether appearing in the vision of a flower, a rainbow, a man or a woman, there is a certain mysterious quality of grace, shine and beauty that can best be described as 'radiance' . . . But it is the inherent radiance of LOVE itself that is the true Feminine core . . . How, then do we magnify our inherent radiance?  By relaxing into our loving heart.  We must learn to let go of our resistances, and give love . . . As we do so, our shine becomes brighter and brighter. The core of the Feminine is this brightness of love."
