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!

It is only through the Divine that two people are united into One.

A healthy relationship involves two people - each having their own spiritual life, standing side by side, with neither casting the shadow of dominance on the other. Paradoxically, however, when Divine Light shines from the infinite Horizon of Being - the dwelling place of the Great Beyond - a magical thing occurs: the shadow of each joins together into One! Indeed it is only through our relationship to the Divine that we are able truly to be united to another person.
