Mountains and molehills,
intricate creations of Mother Earth ~ guides for committing to progress.
Grand snow capped mountains rise high into the sky.
On the horizon ~ a textured screening for rise or set of the sun, rays filtering through the peaks, valleys and forests.
Humble molehills left behind by earth-dwelling moles are at our feet ~ mounds of earth from digging deep tunnels while eating insects and grubs, damaging our perfect lawns and gardens with their burrowing.
For my eyes to see possibility and grandeur
on a horizon at the end of a chosen path
fills me with dreams and hope for more adventure
For my feet to stumble on a humble molehill,
if only gazing dreamily at the grand mountains
I may just be brought suddenly down to earth!
“Men trip not on mountains, they trip on molehills.”
~ Chinese Proverb
