Everyone Says Hello on Rabbit Mountain

Jesse Gonzales

Everyone says hello on Rabbit Mountain under dead pine branches–their limbs litter the dirt. Dried leaves make waves in bramble pits, ditches and dust clouds aloft a sea of green nails. Their voices chip the rocks, crack the twigs and brittle the earth. They make the weeds tumble, the snakes rattle and deer poke their heads, swimming through morning dew as bushes crackle awake beneath tired feet as the sun rises. With trees their umbrella, they sing hello.

Drawing is not what one sees but what one can make others see. –Edgar Degas

You can’t use up creativity. The more you use the more you have.

–Maya Angelou

In a society that worships love, freedom and beauty, dance is sacred. It is a prayer for the future, a remembrance of the past and a joyful exclamation of thanks for the present.
