  Speaker 1: It really is like going to Hulu or Netflix and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you're trying to pick out which podcast you want to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: listen to. Well, what's the subject? Is it all-level sports?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Is it play-by-play action? Is it something our parents would say?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mess? Beyond the Calling? Foodie Paradise? There's so
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: much to choose from on Arrow.net. And you're invited to explore.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: A-R-R-O-E dot net. Ernie was my blue crown conure for
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: over 34 years he and I overlooked this forest right
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: here in South Charlotte North Carolina I mean every day
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Ernie and I would sit in this beautiful home overlooking
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the trees the nearby lake and every bit the wildlife
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that peacefully strolled through this amazing piece of history. Ernie
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and I have shared the same vision for three decades.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It's this forest. We both looked into these trees and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: studied the earth below. I mean, there is something very
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: spiritual going on here. The lyrics from Ernie's Forest. We
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: both receive an amazing amount of energy. And that's the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: reason why I put so much trust and skills as
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a student into what he was willing to share with me.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Because these aren't my words. These are the lyrics from
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Ernie's Forest. Chapter number 450. October 6th, 2024. Wow. A
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: major day in Carolina history. Praying for the people. Once
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: living in the forests of North Carolina, the western side
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of the area was brutalized by Helene. The forests couldn't
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: protect the people from the wind and the rain. So
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: much history had been lost. This side of the mountain
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: became raging waterfalls and anything in its way was swiftly removed.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Towns and highways and homesteads all have been left as
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: nothing more than just a memory. Now, being a daily
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: writer and one who has camped in these collections of trees,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: my handwritten thoughts and experiences of these places are for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: anyone who wants to visit what is now gone. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: know how water moves through my own forest right here
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in South Charlotte, North Carolina, and how that water over
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the years has harshly reshaped the soil. All you can
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: do is pray, for there's only one thing more powerful
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: than fast, uncarried water. So many lives lost because of Helene.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So many forests forced to recover in ways that no
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: human can truly afford. Another day. Another page. Always a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: new beginning. This is very tough to go back to.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: October 6th, 2024. This was our land, North Carolina. This
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was happening to us, North Carolina. And what so many
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: people did not get to experience, because once it falls
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: off the front page of any newspaper... or the front
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: page of a website for CNN, NBC, or even Fox News.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Once it falls off that front page, it's no longer news.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But the way that North Carolina came back together, this
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: state in a nation of 50 states, pulled itself into
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a place of replenishing, believing wholeheartedly in the mountains, the foothills,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the Piedmont, the lands of this nation that were affected
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because the people had to go somewhere and bring something
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: back to rebuild and to reevaluate their presence in this
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: place of all things right now. Sure, a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: history had been totally taken out of the picture, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: now this area has grown back. Why? Because the people
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: came together. The nation came together. Hurricane Helene beat the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: hell out of this state in ways that we have
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: never seen. And now, every day after, we hold onto
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: each other's hands and we say, we got this. We
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: got this. While the rest of us around the state
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: fear every single storm that is building outside our shores.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Because with El Nino here now, we don't know where
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the walls of water will begin and end and what
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to take with it. October 6th, 2024. Still
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: praying for the area of North Carolina that was hit
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: so hard and so much was lost. I'm Errol. These
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: are not my words. These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
