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 heart is a mirror in which the image of God is reflected.


 "A heart that would contemplate must be bright as a mirror, shimmer like some still stretch of water crystal-clear, so that in it and through it the mind may see itself, as in and through a mirror, a reflection of the image of God."

Isaac of Stella,
12th century Cistercian monk
