Nature Photo-Quotes: Joseph Brackett

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!

'Tis the gift to be simple; 'tis the gift to be free!

'Tis the gift to be simple
'Tis the gift to be free

'Tis the Gift to be Simple

‘Tis the Gift to be Simple, ‘Tis the Gift to be Free,
‘Tis the Gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
‘Twill be in the valley of Love and Delight!

Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett,
Maine, ca. 1850
