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!

Our mind is part of God's mind.

"I know God is with me.  I believe in God's power.  We live by his power as we sit here and talk.  That's God's power you're thinking with.  It's God's mind.  Our mind is part of God's mind.  Our mind is part of Nature, part of God.  To Indians, Nature is God and God is Nature.  So when I work for my people, I'm working for God, I'm working for Nature.  Who are YOU working for?"
