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 one thing needful is to become the fullness of our being.


"How could there be any question of acquiring or possessing, when the one thing needful for a person is to become - to be at last, and to die in the fullness of his being?"

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
