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!

My solitude is a contribution to the community life.



"If I AM a solitary, it can be . . . a part of community life, not an expression of a stronger psychological or spiritual need.  It can be a contribution to the community's life . . ."

Thomas Merton
