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 act of divine seeing is itself a Light.


"In the empty being of our spirit, we receive an incomprehensible resplendence which envelops and pervades us in the same way that the air is pervaded by the light of the sun.  This resplendence is nothing other than an act of gazing and seeing which has no ground."

John Ruusbroec, 14th century
