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!

All of eternity will be needed to discover those parts of ourselves that can ONLY be embodied by others!


I resist any teaching which claims that the enlightened person "has it all" and is complete unto themselves. Rather, it is our very incompleteness that causes us to reach out toward others who have the gifts we don't. And vice versa. What a wonderful thing it is to realize that all of eternity will be needed to discover those parts of ourselves that can ONLY can be embodied and mirrored by others!
