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 crux of prayer is listening to God.

  
"When I go up on the hill to pray I don't just talk to God.  I try to get the talking over quick. Mostly I'm listening.  Listening to God - that's praying, too . . . So that's how you pray to God.  You LISTEN."

Mathew King (Noble Red Man),
Lakota chief and elder
