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 Truth Has a Spontaneous Mind of Its Own


"The wind blows wherever it pleases.  You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.  So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Jesus

"As a snow-drift is formed where there is a lull in the wind, so, one would say, where there is a lull of truth, an institution springs up.  But the truth blows right on over it, nevertheless, and at length blows it down."

Henry David Thoreau
