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!

Matter is frozen bliss, crystallized or condensed Consciousness.


"Bliss - conscious, intelligent, everlasting, all-pervading, ever new joy - has frozen itself into physical creations."

"Matter is crystallized or condensed Consciousness. ... a mass of condensed energy; and energy is frozen Cosmic Consciousness, or God".

Paramahansa Yogananda
