- 0:40Speaker 1: your exploration. Ernie Ernie, Ernie Ernie. He was my Blue
- 0:45Speaker 1: Crown conyer for over thirty four years. And if you
- 0:48Speaker 1: could see this forest today with the sun rising, the
- 0:51Speaker 1: shadows that come so natural, it is such a beautiful
- 0:55Speaker 1: array of Mother Nature just smiling. It really is right
- 1:00Speaker 1: here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. And every day Ernie
- 1:03Speaker 1: would sit in his beautiful home overlooking these trees and
- 1:07Speaker 1: the nearby lake and every bit the wildlife that just
- 1:09Speaker 1: happens to stroll through this amazing piece of history. Ernie
- 1:14Speaker 1: and I shared the same vision every single day for
- 1:17Speaker 1: thirty four years. It's this forest. We both looked into
- 1:21Speaker 1: these trees and studied the earth below. There's something that's
- 1:25Speaker 1: very spiritual here. It's the lyrics from Ernie's Forest. We
- 1:29Speaker 1: both received an amazing amount of energy. I put all
- 1:33Speaker 1: of my trust and skills into him because he was
- 1:37Speaker 1: so willing to share with me by way of music.
- 1:40Speaker 1: These are not my words, These are the lyrics from
- 1:43Speaker 1: Ernie's Forest, Chapter number four hundred forty one, August tenth,
- 1:48Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Once in a lifetime, moments in the
- 1:52Speaker 1: center of a collection of trees, tropical Storm DEBI had
- 1:56Speaker 1: arrived massive amounts of rain thrown into the pigre, with
- 2:00Speaker 1: no way to turn it off. Because I fear so
- 2:03Speaker 1: much about losing this forest, I found myself endlessly walking
- 2:07Speaker 1: out into the rain to assess the erosion and or
- 2:11Speaker 1: flow of the unpredictable rivers racing down this gigantic hill
- 2:14Speaker 1: that measures ninety five feet tall, the creek leading to
- 2:18Speaker 1: the lake Ivy Lake. A rage of anger in those rapids,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and from out of nowhere, my eye takes note of
- 2:26Speaker 1: a turtle standing in the rain with its neck fully
- 2:29Speaker 1: stretched out, looking into the sky. In that moment, nothing
- 2:34Speaker 1: else mattered to me. The box turtle was named Timmy.
- 2:38Speaker 1: We've always called him Timmy the Turtle, and thoroughly he
- 2:41Speaker 1: was enjoying what was taking place. I was in fear
- 2:44Speaker 1: of the raging waters, and Timmy the turtle was just
- 2:48Speaker 1: staring into the sky as if to be thanking the
- 2:51Speaker 1: great Creator. There was absolutely no reason for Timmy the
- 2:55Speaker 1: turtle to run inside this gigantic vessel of rain. Timmy
- 3:01Speaker 1: was totally taking in nature's curse and turning it into
- 3:04Speaker 1: a place of amazing peace. When things are falling apart,
- 3:09Speaker 1: don't try to fade out of sight. Sometimes you gotta
- 3:12Speaker 1: be like Timmy. And those are some of the lessons
- 3:16Speaker 1: that I've learned inside this forest since I arrived in
- 3:18Speaker 1: November of nineteen ninety two. If you could just take
- 3:22Speaker 1: the time to observe even a spider. I know you
- 3:26Speaker 1: hate spiders, I know you hate ants. I know you
- 3:29Speaker 1: hate earthworms. I know you hate snakes. I know that.
- 3:33Speaker 1: But they're communicators. They will listen to the atmosphere of
- 3:37Speaker 1: all things present as the wind moves through all things
- 3:41Speaker 1: that were once there, and we've got to get them
- 3:44Speaker 1: out of here. That's what the wind does. It moves things.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But yet so many people fear the wind. What is
- 3:51Speaker 1: it the wind is trying to move from your grip?
- 3:54Speaker 1: What is it that, Timmy, the turtle is trying to
- 3:56Speaker 1: speak to you by looking up into the sky while
- 3:59Speaker 1: the earth is being by this storm, a tropical storm
- 4:04Speaker 1: that you can't turn off. What are you ignoring in
- 4:08Speaker 1: your life? That's something as simple as a cockroach. Oh,
- 4:13Speaker 1: it'll make you just go, oh my god. But it's
- 4:18Speaker 1: carrying a message. And I know for a fact inside
- 4:22Speaker 1: my heart you are not listening because you have been
- 4:25Speaker 1: taught to hate the cockroach. One of the mantras we've
- 4:30Speaker 1: learned in martial arts learn to love all living things.
- 4:34Speaker 1: It's just a mantra right now. When you activate it,
- 4:39Speaker 1: suddenly you begin to hear voices and the atmosphere of
- 4:44Speaker 1: all living things without judgment. These are not my words,
- 4:50Speaker 1: These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
