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!

God is created in all things!


Today in class we are studying Celtic Christian Spirituality, which specializes in the realization that the Creator inhabits all things in the natural world. John Scotus Erigena, a 9th century Celtic theologian, wrote:

"We should not understand God and creation as two different things, but as one and the same. For creation subsists in God, and God is created in creation in a remarkable and ineffable way, manifesting Himself and, though invisible, making Himself visible, . . . though creating everything, making Himself created in everything. The Maker of all, made in all, and, though motionless, moves into everything and becomes all things in all things.
