Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I was doing some research yesterday on Morgan Wallen. I
- 0:02Speaker 1: didn't know the dude was on NBC's The Voice. Did
- 0:05Speaker 1: you know that? Season 14. See, that's the reason why
- 0:09Speaker 1: we've created this channel called That Voice on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:15Speaker 1: You just never know where these people from The Voice
- 0:17Speaker 1: are going to end up. Just ask Morgan Wallen. A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Look for That Voice. Enjoy your exploration. Ernie was my
- 0:28Speaker 1: blue crown conure. For over 34 years, he and I
- 0:32Speaker 1: overlooked this forest right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Every day, Ernie and I would sit in this beautiful
- 0:39Speaker 1: home overlooking the trees, the nearby lake, and every bit
- 0:42Speaker 1: of the wildlife that peacefully strolls on the Mother Earth below.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Ernie and I have shared the same vision. It's this forest.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We both look into the trees and study the earth below.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I mean, there's something very spiritual going on here. The
- 0:57Speaker 1: lyrics from Ernie's Forest. We both receive an amazing amount
- 1:01Speaker 1: of energy, and I put all my trust and skills
- 1:03Speaker 1: as a student into what he is always willing to
- 1:06Speaker 1: share with me. These are not my words. These are
- 1:10Speaker 1: the lyrics from Ernie's Forest. Chapter number 454, November 2nd, 2024.
- 1:18Speaker 1: I have written so many times about the leaves and
- 1:22Speaker 1: their final dance. It spins all spring, reaching outward. In
- 1:27Speaker 1: the summertime, a leaf collects the water and the light.
- 1:30Speaker 1: And by fall, it's time to float freely from the
- 1:32Speaker 1: limbs of the tree to the forest floor. The final dance,
- 1:36Speaker 1: so elegant yet distorted because it's never perfect, which is
- 1:41Speaker 1: why it's so difficult to capture a still shot of
- 1:44Speaker 1: a floating leaf. The human eye and heart cannot predict
- 1:48Speaker 1: the direction of the leaf flight. This season, there's got
- 1:52Speaker 1: to be a spider involved, something like Charlotte's Web. Watching
- 1:56Speaker 1: these leaves bounce back and forth, trying to capture that
- 2:00Speaker 1: final dance, is nothing but entertainment for this aging man
- 2:04Speaker 1: as I bouncy pounce my way on a windy day.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Chasing dancing leaves. Something unique this morning. Thanks in part
- 2:12Speaker 1: to a nearby spider like that of Charlotte's Web. One
- 2:16Speaker 1: of these leaves, brown, with some yellow, some red and green.
- 2:20Speaker 1: One leaf caught in mid-flight by a single strand of
- 2:23Speaker 1: a spider's string. It's right there in front of me.
- 2:28Speaker 1: The leaf in the air, frozen from falling. All because
- 2:33Speaker 1: of a nearly invisible spider's magic. After all of these
- 2:38Speaker 1: years inside this beautiful forest, I finally caught the final
- 2:44Speaker 1: dance of a falling leaf. What is it about leaves?
- 2:50Speaker 1: The child in each and every one of us. We
- 2:53Speaker 1: still want to jump into that gigantic collection that we
- 2:56Speaker 1: spent so many minutes putting all together before we stuffed
- 2:59Speaker 1: them into sacks. And yet, when we see a leaf falling,
- 3:04Speaker 1: we giggle like a child. It's an opportunity to just
- 3:08Speaker 1: cut loose from the world. To not think about the
- 3:11Speaker 1: high cost of living. What food is costing. What is
- 3:15Speaker 1: it going to be like at work? Will you be
- 3:16Speaker 1: fired today? It doesn't matter. I'm watching the leaves. I'm
- 3:21Speaker 1: studying the final dance. Because in reality, we all do it.
- 3:26Speaker 1: But as humans, we don't recognize the bouncy, pouncy, the spinny, twisty,
- 3:32Speaker 1: curvy waves that that come with every step we sing.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But it's the final dance, and we face it every
- 3:40Speaker 1: time we open our eyes. Is this going to be
- 3:44Speaker 1: the day, or are we going to be saved by
- 3:48Speaker 1: a spider's web? I'm Errol. These are not my words.
- 3:52Speaker 1: These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
