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!

With beauty all around me, may I walk . . .


"With beauty before me, may I walk;
With beauty behind me, may I walk;
With beauty above me, may I walk;
With beauty below me, may I walk;
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
Wandering on a trail of beauty,
Lively, I walk."

Version of a Dine' (Navajo) chant
