- 0:06Speaker 1: I know what life is like when you're sitting there
- 0:08Speaker 1: at the office looking for a podcast that doesn't sound
- 0:11Speaker 1: like the rest of them. How about twenty one different podcasts,
- 0:14Speaker 1: I'm serious, twenty one different platforms on one network. Arrow
- 0:18Speaker 1: dot net, aarroet net. Enjoy your exploration. Ernie was my
- 0:25Speaker 1: Blue Crown conyer for over thirty four years. He overlooked
- 0:28Speaker 1: this forest right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. I mean,
- 0:31Speaker 1: every day Ernie sat in his beautiful home, overlooking the trees,
- 0:37Speaker 1: the nearby lake, and every bit the wildlife that peacefully
- 0:40Speaker 1: strolled through those trees and the earth below. Ernie and
- 0:44Speaker 1: I shared the same exact vision. It's this forest. We
- 0:48Speaker 1: both looked into the trees and study the earth below.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I mean, there is something very spiritual going on here.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The lyrics from Ernie's Forest. We both received an amazing
- 0:59Speaker 1: amount of energy, and I put all my trust and
- 1:01Speaker 1: skills as a student into what he was willing to
- 1:04Speaker 1: share with me. These aren't my words, these are the
- 1:08Speaker 1: lyrics from Ernie's Forest, Chapter number four hundred forty seven
- 1:13Speaker 1: September seventeenth, twenty twenty four, I was visiting McDowell's Nature Preserve.
- 1:18Speaker 1: We arrived in the center of a tropical southern storm,
- 1:23Speaker 1: not realizing it would pour nearly three inches of rain
- 1:26Speaker 1: on our camping area. So many times we have tried
- 1:30Speaker 1: to venture out into the waves of water to fall
- 1:33Speaker 1: witness to how this large forest was embracing not only
- 1:37Speaker 1: at soil changes, but the enormous amounts of tree limbs
- 1:41Speaker 1: collapsing to the forest floor. I mean, I know of
- 1:44Speaker 1: events like this because of my own forest in South Charlotte,
- 1:48Speaker 1: North Carolina. What I saw before we arrived here the
- 1:52Speaker 1: bucks were laying down, four of them in the area
- 1:56Speaker 1: that I called Nicky Lane, which is dedicated to the
- 1:58Speaker 1: beautiful creation my little boy, Nikki. To see those bucks
- 2:03Speaker 1: laying on that forest floor made me extremely aware of
- 2:07Speaker 1: the invisible circumstances that would engulf not just two forests,
- 2:11Speaker 1: but multiple throughout the Carolinas, from the coastline to the
- 2:15Speaker 1: Appalachian Mountains. When nature walks through your neck of the woods,
- 2:20Speaker 1: bringing with it will be amazing connections with all living things.
- 2:26Speaker 1: All will change because of the rain. People complained about
- 2:32Speaker 1: rain all the time. And I find that to be
- 2:35Speaker 1: some of the best humor on the planet, the way
- 2:37Speaker 1: that humans like to cover their faces and cover their
- 2:40Speaker 1: head and cover this and cover that. And yet when
- 2:43Speaker 1: you walk into a forest, the animals are saying, go,
- 2:48Speaker 1: this feels so incredible, thank you so much. Have you
- 2:52Speaker 1: ever stared at the leaf of a tree or the
- 2:55Speaker 1: needles of a pine when that rain is coming down,
- 2:58Speaker 1: It's that, Oh my god, this is a blessing, Thank
- 3:02Speaker 1: you so much. And how would we change if we
- 3:07Speaker 1: knew that the rain was going to go away? Which
- 3:11Speaker 1: it has here in twenty twenty six. It is the
- 3:15Speaker 1: worst drought we have seen since two thousand and eight,
- 3:19Speaker 1: eighteen years of unbelievable rain, as well as everything else
- 3:24Speaker 1: that comes with it, especially the growth when it comes
- 3:26Speaker 1: to all living things. But this year the worst drought
- 3:31Speaker 1: in eighteen years. And is anybody when it starts to
- 3:35Speaker 1: rain here and there very little out of time, is
- 3:38Speaker 1: anybody going, oh my god, what a blessing, Thank you
- 3:44Speaker 1: so much. No, they're not. They're not. They're bitching. They're complaining.
- 3:52Speaker 1: It's what we do when it rains. I'm arrow. These
- 3:56Speaker 1: are not my words, these are the lyrics from Ernie's
