      “The love of nature is religion, and that religion is poetry; these three things are one thing. This is the unspoken creed of haiku poets.”

      “The sun shines, snow falls, mountains rise and valleys sink, night deepens and pales into day, but it is only very seldom that we attend to such things. . . . When we are grasping the inexpressible meaning of these things, this is life, this is living. To do this twenty-four hours a day is the Way of Haiku. It is having life more abundantly.”
