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!

Practicing interior silence enables us to feel the power of an endless life, and come to possess it.


"Now thou must die in the silence - to the worldly wisdom, knowledge, reason, and understanding - so that thou comest to feel that which brings thee to wait upon God . . . , which brings thee to feel the power of an endless life, and come to possess it."

George Fox, 17th century
Founder of the Quakers
