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!

We are God's resting place.



"Arise, O Lord, and come to your resting place."

Psalm 132

We speak often of finding rest in the Divine Presence.  But do we realize that that Presence also wants to find rest IN US?  After all, it is we who are the temple of God. This realization gives us added motivation for finding inner peace.  For such rest is needed not just for ourselves, but for the very Source of the Universe :)
