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!

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive . . .



"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Dr. Howard Thurman
African-American mystic & theologian &
spiritual advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
