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!

Shut your mouth, close your lips, and SAY something!


"Shut your mouth, close your lips, and SAY something!"

Zen Master Paichang

These rose hips are somehow able to emerge and "say" something even though silence is the one True Reality!
