From Coyote Peak by Ronald A PavellasYes, the Earth abides
This bench, this peak, this valley
Are here for me, still
Heavy winter rains
Now yield thick grasses, thistles
I welcome these friends
Oh, my dear green hills
How deeply you nourish me
As I sit, entranced 04/02/2005 Author's Note: Coyote Peak in the Santa Teresa Hills of southern San Jose, California -- looking West toward the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Posted by Michelle Angelini on 04/22/05 at 08:00 PM Ron, I've never been to San Jose, but you make me want to visit this beautiful place you write about. Mountains are special to me too. I live in SoCal in sight of the San Gabriel Mountains.
