ON THE WAY TO HAZEL GREEN
ON THE WAY TO HAZEL GREEN
I pass through the gap
where pines and birches
blend sheer rock
chiseled to make a road
fog hangs on the hills
like mysterious smoke
Chimney rocks formed
by ancient magma
mark the skyline
leaves change color
in the celebrations of passing time
sun soaked clouds
streak the landscape.
I roll with the hills
float with the wind
and sing songs.

I don’t know this place, but I *know* this place, singing and all. Thank you for taking me to it Tony.
Hazel Green is a small town in Eastern KY where Gurney Norman led workshops for many years. He was my mentor,
The place was called the Hazel Green Academy. It was a really good place for workshops. You would love it if it was still open. So glad you liked it.
Hazel Green, Pine Mountain, Troublesome, Hindman and more–sacred places and thank you for taking us there or even just close this month. I have enjoyed your work so much.
