- 0:37Speaker 1: My boy boy Ernie a Blue Crown conyer. For over
- 0:42Speaker 1: thirty four years, he and I overlook this forest right
- 0:45Speaker 1: here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. I mean every day
- 0:48Speaker 1: Ernie would sit in his beautiful home, overlooking the trees,
- 0:52Speaker 1: the nearby lake, and every bit the wildlife. Strolling through
- 0:56Speaker 1: such an amazing piece of land and Mother Earth. Ernie
- 1:00Speaker 1: and I shared the same vision this forest. We both
- 1:03Speaker 1: looked into these trees and studied the earth below. There
- 1:07Speaker 1: is something very spiritual going on here. The lyrics from
- 1:11Speaker 1: Ernie's Forest we both receive an amazing amount of energy.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I put all of my trust and skills as a
- 1:17Speaker 1: student into what he is willing to share with me.
- 1:20Speaker 1: These aren't my words, These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest,
- 1:25Speaker 1: chapter number four hundred thirty eight, July twentieth, twenty twenty three.
- 1:31Speaker 1: We have fallen witness to a lot of owls soaring
- 1:35Speaker 1: through our little tiny forest. That usually means there's a
- 1:39Speaker 1: lot of nests nearby now. Being spotted in flight during
- 1:43Speaker 1: daylight hours is a normal thing for many different types
- 1:46Speaker 1: of owls. Spiritually speaking, owls are connected to the universe
- 1:50Speaker 1: in ways that make them communicators. While visiting the outdoors,
- 1:55Speaker 1: the calling is to take the time to listen to
- 1:58Speaker 1: something as simple as an hour right away. Their voices
- 2:03Speaker 1: will allow you to take note of each sound that
- 2:06Speaker 1: they uniquely put into play. Take it in if you
- 2:09Speaker 1: have to record it on your smartphone. Hold on to
- 2:12Speaker 1: these moments other people in nature do say. Multiple owls
- 2:16Speaker 1: in one area could mean a large number of rodents,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and the owls are there to help clean things up
- 2:22Speaker 1: a bit, which just shatters my heart because the first
- 2:25Speaker 1: thing I took note of when I entered the forest today,
- 2:28Speaker 1: the wild white rabbit, a forest farmer of all of
- 2:33Speaker 1: these years, and I still can't get used to owls,
- 2:38Speaker 1: bean owls. It reminds me of that old story where
- 2:42Speaker 1: the little boy climbs to the top of the mountain,
- 2:44Speaker 1: and on top of the mountain there's a snake up there,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and the little boy is afraid of that snake, and
- 2:50Speaker 1: the snake says, please take me down. I'm freezing. I'm
- 2:53Speaker 1: going to die up here. And the little boy, because
- 2:56Speaker 1: he sees a snake, is horrified of it and so
- 3:00Speaker 1: convinced to take the snake down down the hill. Downward,
- 3:03Speaker 1: it's a lot warmer, and the snake warms up. Oh
- 3:06Speaker 1: my god, thank god, it warmed up. But what's the
- 3:09Speaker 1: first thing that it did when it warmed up. It
- 3:11Speaker 1: bit the little boy, the little boy who saved him.
- 3:15Speaker 1: And the snake looks into the eyes of that little
- 3:17Speaker 1: boy and says, you knew what I was when you
- 3:20Speaker 1: picked me up. The same is true about the owls
- 3:23Speaker 1: in this forest. I am a farmer of over three
- 3:26Speaker 1: decades of trees in a little forest, and I still
- 3:31Speaker 1: can't get over owls, bean owls. I don't like it
- 3:35Speaker 1: when the hawks swoop down and grab something like a snake.
- 3:39Speaker 1: You knew what it was when you picked it up,
- 3:41Speaker 1: but it's still as that forest farmer of multiple years.
- 3:46Speaker 1: I'm not used to it. It's not that I don't
- 3:49Speaker 1: like it or do like it. It's not that I
- 3:51Speaker 1: have to like it. It's that's that's the way it is.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I am not the owner. I'm just a participant. And
- 3:59Speaker 1: all too often in our own everyday lives, if you
- 4:02Speaker 1: knew something when you picked it up, that means you
- 4:05Speaker 1: were part of it, and what did you do in
- 4:08Speaker 1: making sure that being part of it materialized? Or maybe
- 4:12Speaker 1: it didn't. But you have to face these questions every day.
- 4:15Speaker 1: You've been a part of what you do for how
- 4:18Speaker 1: many years? And are you still sick to your stomach
- 4:21Speaker 1: when certain things happen? It's like, oh no, oh, oh,
- 4:25Speaker 1: you knew what I was when you picked me up.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I've said the same exact thing for many years about
- 4:31Speaker 1: the broadcast industry, because when I started in nineteen seventy nine,
- 4:35Speaker 1: when Disco was still king, I knew what radio was.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I knew how many people dropped out of the industry
- 4:43Speaker 1: or were fired and never made it back. I knew
- 4:45Speaker 1: what the snake was before I picked it up, and
- 4:49Speaker 1: yet it lasted terrestrial radio for thirty six years. And
- 4:53Speaker 1: now that I've been podcasting and I'm on my fourteenth
- 4:55Speaker 1: year of podcasting, it's like, you know what this is,
- 5:00Speaker 1: why do you keep picking it up? And I give
- 5:04Speaker 1: the same question to you. You know what it is,
- 5:07Speaker 1: why are you picking it up? I'm arrow, These aren't
- 5:11Speaker 1: my words.
