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!

You will see that each thing has already exploded stilly and silently and made the earth more brilliant than any heaven.



"You will see that each thing is a hidden treasure because of its divine fullness, and you will see that each thing has already exploded stilly and silently and made the earth more brilliant than any heaven."

Jalaluddin Rumi
