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!

The greater the fire, the greater the light to arise from it . . .


"The greater the fire, the greater the light to arise from it, for the fire of God is a cause of the light.  But in the love the fire dies and transmutes itself into the kingdom of joy."

Jacob Boehme,
16 the century German mystic
