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!

Solitude and Silence are Mutual
During today's hike in the falling snow, I
felt immersed in a profound experience of solitude and silence. The
solitude embodied a sense of oneness with the Beloved, in which my love
for God is the same thing as God's love for me. The silence
associated with this solitude reminded me that bliss - a sort of divine
afterglow - involves a profound sense of contentment in which both God
and I are lost in love.
