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!

God uses things as language.


"The difference between our active thinking and the thinking of God is that God expresses Himself through things themselves, using them as language, whereas we express our thoughts only in the language of words."
Max Picard,
"The World of Silence"
