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 appearance of each moment is like a meditation bell announcing the sacred silence that underlies and undergirds all things.


The appearance of each moment is like a meditation bell  announcing the sacred silence that underlies and undergirds all things; a divine silence from which every event emerges like an unspoken echo; a silence to which everything returns, lost to itself in bliss.
