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!

In the silence of Nature, we sense that we are profoundly Listened-to.



In the silence of Nature, we sense that we are profoundly Listened-to. In fact, divine listening is one very important aspect of silence. In being Listened-to, we discover sacred insights we never knew we had. And this in turn leads us to express our creativity in fresh ways.




After being so thoroughly Listened-to, we then return to society with a fresh ability to listen to others, thus enabling THEIR creative powers to come to birth. It is this kind of divine listening - mediated through US - that our current era so desperately needs.
