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!

I am full of red rock love


"I am breathing in the red rocks
they are teaching me how to live
slowly . . .

These red rocks fill my belly with love
I am full of red rock love
I am full of the silence that tells everything.

Impenetrable red rock mountains
soften
dissolve
become liquid
take over my body
and run through my veins
strengthening my desire
to be one
with you."

Rose Leiter,
"The Red Rocks are Singing to the Blue Sky"
