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!

Treating each moment as a new beginning keeps us forever young and vibrant.


One of the most important spiritual practices is the capacity to see each moment as a new beginning - a sunrise - and to listen for the fresh voice of the Spirit in that moment.  The alternative is a "same ol', same ol' " attitude that makes us age before our time.  But treating each moment as new and full of possibility keeps us forever young and vibrant.
