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!

The life of each of us is a wave-crest on the vast lake of Being.


The life of each of us is a wave-crest on the vast lake of Being, while our death is a swell at the bottom of that crest. Our being is thus interconnected with all other beings, making a pattern of great beauty.
