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 Quaker Doctrine of the Inner Light


"I was glad that I was commanded to turn people to that inward light, spirit, and grace, by which all might know their salvation, and their way to God; even that divine Spirit which would lead them into all Truth, and which I infallibly knew would never deceive any."

George Fox, 17th century
Founder of the Quakers




"The Inner Light is the doctrine that there is something Divine, ‘Something of God’ in the human soul."

Rufus Jones,
20th century Quaker scholar
