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!

This universe, which was capable of engendering beings capable of vision, must possess vision itself.



"This universe, which was capable of engendering beings capable of vision, must possess vision itself . . . Even a culture as reputedly unreligious as the Chinese feels that this universe, which was capable of engendering living beings provided with eyes, must itself be moved by the need and the capacity to see."

Francois Cheng,
"The Way of Beauty"
