Carpe Diem #1036 mountain


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at a new episode of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. This month we are exploring the power of words through quotes by known and unknown people. Today I have a nice quote ... a very nice one I would say, because in this quote hides deep inside a strong spiritual message. See for yourself.

Today's quote is by Theodore Roethke (1908-1963), an American poet:

Theodore Roethke
I hadn't heard from this American poet, but he wrote wonderful poems and he was renown in the US. Here is the quote for your inspiration:

[...] "Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley. " [...] Theodore Roethke

And this is my response inspired on this beautiful, spiritual layered quote:

climbing a mountain
only the sun and the spring breeze
new vistas
