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!

Because God has an overflowing being, he transcends all knowledge.


"Because God has an overflowing being, he transcends all knowledge."

Meister Eckhart, 14th century Germany

Since God continually self-empties through love, there is no way the faculty of reason - which must freeze a thing to know it - could ever grasp him in order to examine and know him.
