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!

Confidence is the greatest friend.


"Confidence is the greatest friend."


Lao Tzu

This quote speaks to me of the fact that confidence is not a mere quality that we possess. Rather, confidence is a sort of friend who has a life of her own.  She is a companion who never fails to "confide" in us, one who desires a a strong and intimate relationship with us.
