- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, we're having a lot of fun on arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:04Speaker 1: You know the music, you know the artists, but can
- 0:06Speaker 1: you name them before we tell you what they are?
- 0:10Speaker 1: It's called Music's Lost History, Song Edition and Artist Edition.
- 0:14Speaker 1: And it's found only on arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Ernie was my blue crown conure. For over 34 years,
- 0:26Speaker 1: he and I overlooked this forest right here in South Charlotte,
- 0:28Speaker 1: North Carolina. I mean, every day Ernie and I would
- 0:32Speaker 1: sit in his beautiful home overlooking these trees, the nearby lake,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and every bit of wildlife that peacefully strolled through this
- 0:40Speaker 1: amazing chunk of Mother Earth. Ernie and I shared the
- 0:43Speaker 1: same vision. It's this forest. We both looked into the
- 0:46Speaker 1: trees and studied the earth below. I mean, there's something
- 0:49Speaker 1: very spiritual going on here. The lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
- 0:53Speaker 1: We both received an amazing amount of energy. And I
- 0:57Speaker 1: put all my trust and skills as a student into
- 0:59Speaker 1: what he was always willing to share with me. These
- 1:02Speaker 1: aren't my words. These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Chapter number 455. November 9th, 2024. It's becoming very clear
- 1:08Speaker 1: that no matter how much I love this collection of trees...
- 1:18Speaker 1: Those sharing this forest with me have developed a sense
- 1:21Speaker 1: of having better control of these skyscrapers. Now, first, I
- 1:25Speaker 1: am a tree hugger. I just don't roam the universe
- 1:29Speaker 1: like they do. It's having a mutual respect for each
- 1:33Speaker 1: other's place and space, which to someone on the outside
- 1:36Speaker 1: of this circle might write it off as just a
- 1:38Speaker 1: crazy old poet. Respecting each other's places and space. It's
- 1:43Speaker 1: the same story around the creek that's leading to the lake.
- 1:47Speaker 1: By staying free of reshaping its crawling area, the banks
- 1:51Speaker 1: keep the major downpours from flooding the area. Now, if
- 1:54Speaker 1: trees need to be pruned, I sit with the tree
- 1:57Speaker 1: before cutting them, which is why my apple tree has
- 2:00Speaker 1: been so close to me for over 30 years. I
- 2:03Speaker 1: want to believe that we understand each other, but to
- 2:06Speaker 1: suddenly clear leaves, it leaves a hole in my heart.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And I do pray for those who aimlessly cut just
- 2:13Speaker 1: for the sport of it. Trees are so important. And
- 2:17Speaker 1: during these days of multiple wars around the world, I
- 2:21Speaker 1: do think of the trees in Ukraine, in Gaza, even
- 2:24Speaker 1: in Russia. I do think of those moments where those skyscraping, limb-reaching, sun-stealing,
- 2:31Speaker 1: give-me-all-the-water-you-can trees have lost their place in our place on
- 2:37Speaker 1: this planet. And we bitch and moan about how bare
- 2:41Speaker 1: and dry it is when, in fact, we should be
- 2:43Speaker 1: complaining about the number of trees that we're taking down.
- 2:47Speaker 1: They are a valuable source and resource for our modern-day walk.
- 2:51Speaker 1: But no, nobody is stepping into that story and putting
- 2:56Speaker 1: value in its presentation. They'll go and just cut them down.
- 3:00Speaker 1: But what are the chances that you're going to be
- 3:01Speaker 1: given 40 years to see one fully grown again? It
- 3:05Speaker 1: ain't going to happen. Because for one single tree to
- 3:09Speaker 1: make it even four or five feet tall, everything above
- 3:13Speaker 1: them better not be covered up with an umbrella. And
- 3:16Speaker 1: if you're a tree hugger, you know exactly what I mean.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Learn to love all living things. I'm Arrow. These are
- 3:26Speaker 1: not my words. These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
