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!

A Declaration of Interdependence is our nation's next step!



"In the future, brave men and women will write a Declaration of Interdependence that will be read and honored alongside the Declaration of Independence: proof of our evolution, revolution of our own growth and understanding.  The open space of democracy provides justice for all living things - plants, animals, rocks, and rivers, as well as human beings.  It is a landscape that encourages diversity and discourages conformity."

Terry Tempest Williams,
"The Open Space of Democracy"
