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!

We are enclosed in God's rest and peace.

 

"We are enclosed in God, and God is enclosed in us . . . As truly as God is our Father, so truly is God our Mother . . . God is our clothing that for love, wraps us up and winds us about; embraces us, totally clothes us . . . We are enclosed in God's rest and peace."

Mother Julian of Norwich,
14th century English contemplative
