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 Goddess is immanent rather than transcendent.


"Within nearly all expressions of contemporary women's spirituality is the idea of the Goddess not as transcendent, apart from us, but as immanent, within ourselves. Many would carry this even further and speak of the Goddess as being within all manifestations of life."

Merlin Stone
"When God Was a Woman"
