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!

Every soul becomes gold when touched by the Beloved.


"O great one,
journey from self to Self
and find the mine of gold . . .
This is the miracle:
Every tree becomes beautiful
when touched by sunlight;
Every soul becomes gold
when touched by the Beloved."

Jalaluddin Rumi
