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 major purpose here on Earth is to experience a sense of awe and wonder at the majesty of life's beauty.


Our major purpose here on Earth is to experience a sense of awe and wonder at the majesty of life's beauty, and then to release that sense to God, thereby enriching the Divine Life immeasureably.  For we are the eye through which Divinity sees itself in the mirror of the world.
