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!

Contemplation is a resting in God . . .



"Contemplation is a resting in God. In this resting or stillness the mind and heart are not actively seeking Him, but are beginning to experience - "taste" - what they have been seeking. This places them in a state of repose, tranquility, and profound interior peace."

Thomas Keating
