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!

Our emotional drama melts in the glow of the Spirit that is reflected in a still mind and heart.


What does all of the emotional drama we create mean in the context of the eternal rhythms of Nature? Not very much. A lot of the societal angst we feel melts away in the glow of the Spirit that is reflected in a mind and heart tranquilized in the rich silence of the natural world.
