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!

Life's challenges are effective in revealing the Light of Divine grace.



Light rays passing through space are imperceptible unless they encounter dust particles, asteroids or planets that resist their continued travel and bounce the light back to the observer's eye.  Similarly, challenges in our lives may seem like mountains that resist any further progress along the path toward whatever goal we are journeying. However, it is precisely those obstacles that make the Light of Divine grace visible in all of its beauty and glory.
