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!

All terrestrial things are essentially celestial


"All terrestrial things are essentially celestial, just as water beaten into foam, crystallized in ice, or warming into vapor, or steam, dew, or rain, is still water . . . All human love is in like manner Divine Love."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 65
