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 task as human beings is to enhance the dreaming and imagining of the Creator.


Wilderness provides us a place to dream, to imagine in fresh ways.  As human beings, we are given the unique task of participating  in the dreaming and imagining of the Creator.  When we do this with joy and with a concern for the good of the Whole,  it is as though the Creator's echo returns in a different voice, and with new words added, thus enhancing His and Her experience of awe and wonder at the beauty of this amazing Universe.
