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!

Rocks are some of the wisest creatures on Earth.

 
I believe rocks are some of the wisest creatures on Earth.  They teach us to take the long view, to be centered and solid, to be unselfconscious in our giving, to be still enough to allow our spiritual lives to crystallize.  Without rocks, who would counsel us to ground ourselves in a realm deeper than the frenetic, insane pace of modern society?
