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!

Remaining Centered in the True Self is the Key to Happiness


The compact nature of this prairie saxifrage clump reminds me to remain centered in the true self, which is actually transparent to the spaciousness and vastness of the Divine Presence.  All problems, it seems, come from forgetting about this Divine Center.
