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 Phallus is Symbolic of Penetrative Insight


The phallus - employed as a spiritual symbol - embodies the principle of penetrative insight. Here, spacious awareness becomes focused and aims right THROUGH the various beings, events and challenges of life, allowing them to become transparent to the Divinity hiding there.
