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!

Each of Us Has a Special Listening-Point from Which to Contemplate the Universe


"From my Listening Point I have seen the immensity of space and glimpsed at times the grandeur of creation.  There I have sensed the span of uncounted centuries and looked down the path all life has come . . . Everyone has a listening-point somewhere . . . , some place of quiet where the universe can be contemplated with awe."
