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 light bathing the mountains appears to come from within!


"God who is Light has led me tenderly from light to light to the shoreless ocean of rayless, beamless Spirit Light that bathes these holy mountains . . . The light does not seem to lie only on the surface but seems fairly to saturate and make the whole cliff glow to its center as if the light came from within."

The Contemplative John Muir
