- 0:31Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. My name is Erro. Do you believe
- 0:37Speaker 1: in resurrections? I mean they happen every day? But are
- 0:40Speaker 1: you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find
- 0:43Speaker 1: newer ways to understand? This podcast isn't about what we
- 0:48Speaker 1: study and see through the eyes of religion. My boy
- 0:52Speaker 1: boy Ernie spoke with me each chance we had together.
- 0:55Speaker 1: But this isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly
- 0:58Speaker 1: thirty four years. This resurrection is that of a writing instrument,
- 1:03Speaker 1: verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Trusting the great mysteries of life. Tools are handed to
- 1:11Speaker 1: us to carve out each expectation. This tool was laid
- 1:15Speaker 1: to rest inside a forest to experience the elements of
- 1:18Speaker 1: reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories,
- 1:23Speaker 1: But who's writing it? Welcome to the Resurrection.
- 1:34Speaker 2: March sixteenth, twenty twenty six. A storm has moved to
- 1:39Speaker 2: the southeast. They said it would bring down trees. They
- 1:42Speaker 2: said the winds would be high, they said the rains
- 1:44Speaker 2: would be torrential. There were tornado warnings, and you know,
- 1:49Speaker 2: we all embraced, but did we really embrace Because on
- 1:54Speaker 2: this date, the very lay of land where my boy
- 1:58Speaker 2: boy Ernie is resting, a tree has fallen not only
- 2:02Speaker 2: on his place and his space of peace, but it's
- 2:06Speaker 2: fallen on the house in this very place. What are
- 2:10Speaker 2: the chances that this one moment, this one little area
- 2:15Speaker 2: would serve as some sort of magnet to bring down
- 2:20Speaker 2: a tree. It has fallen onto the my boy boy
- 2:23Speaker 2: Ernie garden as well as the house, and the damage
- 2:27Speaker 2: is there. And so it's one of those where I
- 2:29Speaker 2: just want to go take the writing instrument which has
- 2:31Speaker 2: been placed next to the writing desk and bring it
- 2:34Speaker 2: out here so that it too can be a part
- 2:36Speaker 2: of this because many stories are going to be written
- 2:38Speaker 2: about that day. The tree came down in the very
- 2:44Speaker 2: place that my boy boy Ernie is resting, and maybe
- 2:48Speaker 2: maybe this could be like his home inside our home.
- 2:52Speaker 2: And he was just looking for a new place to climb,
- 2:54Speaker 2: and he thought, well, I'm tired of walking over to
- 2:55Speaker 2: the tree. Why don't we just move the roots of
- 2:57Speaker 2: the tree and bring it over here a little bit closer.
- 2:59Speaker 2: In this I can just climb up, because that's just
- 3:01Speaker 2: what parrots do. Because I am a blue crown conure
- 3:04Speaker 2: could be. But we are in a freaky place, of
- 3:10Speaker 2: all places, inside this beautiful forest in South Charlotte. This
- 3:14Speaker 2: is where the tree came down. Really, we are back
- 3:23Speaker 2: at the site of my boy boy Ernie, where he
- 3:25Speaker 2: has been laid to rest, and where the writing instrument,
- 3:28Speaker 2: the my boy boy writing instrument was placed for thirty
- 3:32Speaker 2: four days. There's a lot of destruction inside where Ernie
- 3:38Speaker 2: is laid, and the tree has been removed that fell
- 3:43Speaker 2: onto the area. But the marks that are in the
- 3:45Speaker 2: soil are not that that would have been caused by
- 3:49Speaker 2: the falling tree. There's a lot of digging here. I
- 3:52Speaker 2: can see evidence of deer. I can see the deer tracks.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I can see that a lot of animals have come
- 3:59Speaker 2: into this area. But it's the digging that has my attention.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Because it's right in the area where my boy boy
- 4:07Speaker 2: Ernie is, And it's like, I don't want to take
- 4:10Speaker 2: anything natural away from the storyline, But what I want
- 4:13Speaker 2: to do is I want to understand it a lot better.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I've been doing a lot of research on this, and
- 4:20Speaker 2: what I've learned is that animals dig around burial sites
- 4:23Speaker 2: mostly because their senses tell them that something is in there,
- 4:28Speaker 2: not because they understand that it's a grave. It's just
- 4:31Speaker 2: that something is in there. Do I think it's a dog.
- 4:35Speaker 2: I don't think it's a dog. It's too tiny to
- 4:37Speaker 2: be a dog, because I know how my dog would
- 4:40Speaker 2: be Jazzy the disaster artist, and she would totally dig
- 4:44Speaker 2: things up. But a lot of these animals have a
- 4:47Speaker 2: powerful sense of smell. We're talking about foxes, raccoons, coyotes.
- 4:52Speaker 2: As things start to decay inside the ground, these animals
- 4:56Speaker 2: are drawn to this area and they leave their marks
- 5:00Speaker 2: on top of the soil instinct not intention. To scavengers,
- 5:05Speaker 2: the smell of the decomposing body sends off a signal,
- 5:09Speaker 2: and this is really true for animals wired for evolution
- 5:12Speaker 2: to locate the actual dead animal. And it's like, I
- 5:15Speaker 2: keep thinking one of these days, I'm going to walk
- 5:18Speaker 2: out here and Ernie, with his beautiful, beautiful home to
- 5:22Speaker 2: which he was planted within, it's going to be dug up.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I mean, that is my real, honest to God fear.
- 5:28Speaker 2: But what's happening is is that nature is very curious
- 5:32Speaker 2: right now, and nature is being very territorial. And the
- 5:36Speaker 2: thing is is that I also have to remind myself
- 5:38Speaker 2: that the soil is softer, and this really does invite
- 5:41Speaker 2: a lot of animals to this area. Shadow burial grounds
- 5:45Speaker 2: make it easier for animals to kind of get in there,
- 5:49Speaker 2: find that scent, and locate the actual origin of where
- 5:53Speaker 2: things are going. You cannot prevent any of this from
- 5:56Speaker 2: taking place. If there is something they want to deal
- 5:59Speaker 2: with with, they're gonna dig down three to four inches deep.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And that's exactly what they have done with my boy
- 6:07Speaker 2: boy Ernie in this one area where I know he's
- 6:11Speaker 2: there because I'm the one who buried him there. So
- 6:15Speaker 2: what they're suggesting is is that I place a large
- 6:18Speaker 2: rock or concrete slab over the area just to keep
- 6:21Speaker 2: the animals away. I'm a naturalist. I can't do that.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I just don't have it in my heart to do
- 6:28Speaker 2: something like that. For instance, not even six or seven
- 6:31Speaker 2: feet from where Ernie is currently overlooking this forest, there
- 6:35Speaker 2: is a chunk of a building. It was once the
- 6:40Speaker 2: county courthouse in Mecklenburg County in North Carolina, that was
- 6:43Speaker 2: built back in nineteen twenty five. I got my hands
- 6:46Speaker 2: on this because I went to the actual destruction site
- 6:49Speaker 2: and got this from the workers that were on site,
- 6:52Speaker 2: and I brought it home because I believe in preserving history.
- 6:55Speaker 2: But there's been this calling for the past two or
- 6:57Speaker 2: three weeks now that has said plant this gigantic chunk
- 7:01Speaker 2: of a building that once was over Ernie. And my
- 7:04Speaker 2: heart is saying no, no, And that's why I'm going
- 7:09Speaker 2: against this, even though research shows that this is what
- 7:12Speaker 2: we should do to help preserve this. The behavior of
- 7:16Speaker 2: these animals is completely natural and not a sign of
- 7:19Speaker 2: aggression or disturbance. It is biology doing what biology does. Now,
- 7:24Speaker 2: here's the thing that they suggest, if I want, I
- 7:28Speaker 2: can explain which animals in the area can do less
- 7:33Speaker 2: or more, if I want to do more research on this.
- 7:37Speaker 2: And I don't think that's where we are. Because as
- 7:41Speaker 2: we grow closer and closer to the thirty fourth day
- 7:45Speaker 2: of the writing instrument being where Ernie once once lived,
- 7:49Speaker 2: inside what we call the mansion, overlooking the forest. Maybe
- 7:52Speaker 2: things will calm down, But right now, this area where
- 7:56Speaker 2: my boy boy Ernie is, the animals are restless and
- 8:02Speaker 2: it's very physical.
- 8:09Speaker 1: The resurrection, It's a true story. Learn more about this
- 8:13Speaker 1: forest and my boy boy Ernie on Arrow dot Net,
- 8:16Speaker 1: a re dot net. His story, his journey a new
- 8:22Speaker 1: path with the Writing Instrument are available on the podcast
- 8:24Speaker 1: The Lyrics from Ernie's Forest. Future episodes of this podcast
- 8:28Speaker 1: will focus on the transition of materialistic value to that
- 8:32Speaker 1: of an authentic storyteller. The ice storms, a record setting
- 8:36Speaker 1: eleven inches of snow, The fear of walking to the
- 8:40Speaker 1: gravesite to find nothing, The resurrection, faith, hope, forgiveness and discovery.
- 8:47Speaker 1: What lessons will the Writing Instrument bring back to the
- 8:50Speaker 1: surface of walking forward? Let it rise above our tears.
