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 Great Spirit and the Christian God are the same . . .



"I was raised mostly by my grandparents. They gave me the proper training. They taught me about the Great Spirit and also the Christian God. I believed in both because I was taught both were the same."
