Speaker 1: Oh, We're always inventing new things on arrow dot Net.
Speaker 1: That's the fun part about being a podcaster. Doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be that stale, old, boring stuff that includes the
Speaker 1: news and a bunch of gossip that means nothing to you.
Speaker 1: Our new feature is called Music's Lost History. My goal
Speaker 1: as a podcaster is to put you in a situation
Speaker 1: of I know you know the song, but do you
Speaker 1: know the history? So I give you all of these
Speaker 1: hints of what that song is, and then I pop
Speaker 1: you right at the end, going this is it for
Speaker 1: you to go, Holy crap, Let's do this again Music's
Speaker 1: Lost History only on Arrow dot net Aroe dot net.
Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Ernie was my blue Crown conyer. I mean,
Speaker 1: for thirty four years, he and I overlooked this forest
Speaker 1: right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. Every day Ernie
Speaker 1: would sit in his beautiful home, overlooking the trees, the
Speaker 1: nearby lake, and every bit the wildlife that peacefully strolled
Speaker 1: through this amazing chunk of land. Ernie and I shared
Speaker 1: the same vision this forest. We both looked into the
Speaker 1: trees and studied the earth below. There's something very spiritual
Speaker 1: going on here. The lyrics from Ernie's Forest. We both
Speaker 1: receive an amazing amount of energy. I put all of
Speaker 1: my trust in skills as a student into what he
Speaker 1: was willing to share with me. These are not my words,
Speaker 1: they never have been. These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest,
Speaker 1: chapter number four hundred forty six, September fourteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I'm that weird guy in this very small forest that
Speaker 1: feels that he needs to walk up to a tree
Speaker 1: and share a conversation with it. Many of them were
Speaker 1: actually seedlings when I was blessed with the energy to
Speaker 1: share them with the soil in nineteen ninety seven. So
Speaker 1: having this relationship with these trees is an automatic for
Speaker 1: this romantic I do wonder, though, if these trees that
Speaker 1: I speak with can actually feel how much I love them.
Speaker 1: In doing research the answer it kind of disappointed me,
Speaker 1: and Arborus writes, trees do not love us, but they
Speaker 1: do respond to touch. Trees process information from outside sources.
Speaker 1: A tree communicates with other plants, especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to stress and overstimulation. When in question, a tree produces
Speaker 1: compounds that act as a drug to lessen the injury
Speaker 1: not of just itself but everything around it by the
Speaker 1: way a tree has a pulse. Maybe that's what I'm
Speaker 1: listening to while standing there on this transition walk, listening
Speaker 1: to this forest being so in tune with their presence.
Speaker 1: What is shared is a universal connection that needs absolutely
Speaker 1: no explanation. Open your heart and feel it was September fourteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. In twenty twenty six, the month of January,
Speaker 1: I began a journey of trying to communicate even more
Speaker 1: with these trees, which the arborist said doesn't really feel
Speaker 1: my love. But I want to argue with that, and
Speaker 1: I'm about to prove that that arborist is one hundred
Speaker 1: percent wrong. In three places in the great state of
Speaker 1: North Carolina, there are writing instruments that have been placed
Speaker 1: deep inside the soil. The reasons for those writing instruments
Speaker 1: to be there is to be able to communicate with
Speaker 1: not only the trees, but the long stems of wild
Speaker 1: wild plants that most people would rather burn down or
Speaker 1: take down. But why it's communication. These writing instruments are
Speaker 1: really into a mode of connecting with the fung guy.
Speaker 1: That's how things are brought together through communication. Beneath the
Speaker 1: soil of the earth, the things that we can't see.
Speaker 1: Will I have more writing instruments in the soil? Yes?
Speaker 1: Is it polluting? No? I have been with so many
Speaker 1: authors and others who look at this idea as a
Speaker 1: way of getting even closer to the plan, the purpose
Speaker 1: and the replenishing of a planet that has a lot
Speaker 1: to say. But we as humans, the only thing that
Speaker 1: we know is war and greed. You can hear every
Speaker 1: one of those podcasts it's called the Resurrection, and inside
Speaker 1: that podcast it speaks of what it's like to take
Speaker 1: this writing instrument and plant it in the soil for
Speaker 1: one full year. Now over at location number two, it's
Speaker 1: been in the soil now for four months. It has
Speaker 1: not been touched in Location number three. A month ago,
Speaker 1: I was able to reach into the soil and pull
Speaker 1: it from all that was the average person says, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is just so bad. Pull it from
Speaker 1: that and go to the writing instruments page and put
Speaker 1: the thoughts right there. Did I feel something? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah. So when the arborist said that they don't
Speaker 1: feel our love. These are not my words. These are
Speaker 1: the lyrics from Ernie's Forest
