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!

Human loneliness is, in fact, the loneliness of God.



"Human loneliness is, in fact, the loneliness of God.  That is why it is such a great thing for a person to discover his solitude and learn to live in it.  For there he finds that he and God are one."

Thomas Merton
