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!

Our adoration expands God's own joy.


"Through adoration . . . , how could this not expand God's own joy?  All mystics have felt in their deepest being the rapture of the Divine's response to their outfolding into love . . . How amazing it is that each of us has in his or her power the ability to move God with such joy?"
