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!

Being is essentially "being-with."


 
"Being is essentially 'being-with,' communion, koinonia . . . The 'I' only awakens to itself in a 'Thou,' for being IS love. And there cannot be a solitary bliss, any more than there can be solitary being or solitary self-awareness."

Henri Le Saux,
Benedictine monk
