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 Inner Light, the Inward Christ, is the living Center of Reference for all Christians and non-Christians


"The Inner Light, the Inward Christ, is no mere doctrine, belonging peculiarly to a small religious fellowship, to be accepted or rejected as a mere belief.  It is the living Center of Reference for  all Christian souls and Christian groups - yes, and of non-Christian groups as well who seriously mean to dwell in the secret place of the Most High. He is the center and source of action, not the endpoint of thought."

Thomas Kelly,
Quaker writer
