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!

Using the energy of rejection as a slingshot THROUGH the situation into the Mystery Beyond.



This week, I had several rather intense instances of rejection. However, I experienced release from the hurt when I found the grace to use the energy of the afflictive emotion as a slingshot taking me THROUGH the situation and into the spaciousness of the Mystery Beyond.




As usual, ferreting out the transparency of a tight and seemingly solid emotion is the key to liberation.
