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 Holy Spirit is a living, all-pervading fluid, full of wisdom and knowledge.


"Nothing varies from the path ordained by the wisdom and power of the living fluid agent which envelops it.  What is this living, self-moving, powerful, and most wonderful fluid?  What is it which so copiously pervades universal nature? . . . Heat, light, electricity, and all the varied and grand displays of nature are but the tremblings, the vibrations, the energetic powers of a living, all-pervading, and most wonderful fluid, full of wisdom and knowledge, called the HOLY SPIRIT."

Orson Pratt, Mormon elder and pioneer, 1855
