00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, We're always inventing new things on arrow dot Net.

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>That's the fun part about being a podcaster. Doesn't have

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>to be that stale, old, boring stuff that includes the

4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>news and a bunch of gossip that means nothing to you.

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Our new feature is called Music's Lost History. My goal

6
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>as a podcaster is to put you in a situation

7
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>of I know you know the song, but do you

8
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 1>know the history? So I give you all of these

9
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>hints of what that song is, and then I pop

10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you right at the end, going this is it for

11
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>you to go, Holy crap, Let's do this again Music's

12
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Lost History only on Arrow dot net Aroe dot net.

13
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy your exploration. Ernie was my blue Crown conyer. I mean,

14
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>for thirty four years, he and I overlooked this forest

15
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 1>right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. Every day Ernie

16
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>would sit in his beautiful home, overlooking the trees, the

17
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>nearby lake, and every bit the wildlife that peacefully strolled

18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 1>through this amazing chunk of land. Ernie and I shared

19
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the same vision this forest. We both looked into the

20
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>trees and studied the earth below. There's something very spiritual

21
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>going on here. The lyrics from Ernie's Forest. We both

22
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>receive an amazing amount of energy. I put all of

23
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>my trust in skills as a student into what he

24
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 1>was willing to share with me. These are not my words,

25
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>they never have been. These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest,

26
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>chapter number four hundred forty six, September fourteenth, twenty twenty four.

27
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm that weird guy in this very small forest that

28
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>feels that he needs to walk up to a tree

29
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and share a conversation with it. Many of them were

30
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 1>actually seedlings when I was blessed with the energy to

31
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>share them with the soil in nineteen ninety seven. So

32
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>having this relationship with these trees is an automatic for

33
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>this romantic I do wonder, though, if these trees that

34
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I speak with can actually feel how much I love them.

35
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>In doing research the answer it kind of disappointed me,

36
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>and Arborus writes, trees do not love us, but they

37
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>do respond to touch. Trees process information from outside sources.

38
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>A tree communicates with other plants, especially when it comes

39
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>to stress and overstimulation. When in question, a tree produces

40
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>compounds that act as a drug to lessen the injury

41
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 1>not of just itself but everything around it by the

42
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>way a tree has a pulse. Maybe that's what I'm

43
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>listening to while standing there on this transition walk, listening

44
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to this forest being so in tune with their presence.

45
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>What is shared is a universal connection that needs absolutely

46
00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>no explanation. Open your heart and feel it was September fourteenth,

47
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four. In twenty twenty six, the month of January,

48
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>I began a journey of trying to communicate even more

49
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>with these trees, which the arborist said doesn't really feel

50
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>my love. But I want to argue with that, and

51
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to prove that that arborist is one hundred

52
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>percent wrong. In three places in the great state of

53
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina, there are writing instruments that have been placed

54
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>deep inside the soil. The reasons for those writing instruments

55
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to be there is to be able to communicate with

56
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>not only the trees, but the long stems of wild

57
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>wild plants that most people would rather burn down or

58
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>take down. But why it's communication. These writing instruments are

59
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 1>really into a mode of connecting with the fung guy.

60
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 1>That's how things are brought together through communication. Beneath the

61
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>soil of the earth, the things that we can't see.

62
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Will I have more writing instruments in the soil? Yes?

63
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it polluting? No? I have been with so many

64
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>authors and others who look at this idea as a

65
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 1>way of getting even closer to the plan, the purpose

66
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and the replenishing of a planet that has a lot

67
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to say. But we as humans, the only thing that

68
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 1>we know is war and greed. You can hear every

69
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>one of those podcasts it's called the Resurrection, and inside

70
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that podcast it speaks of what it's like to take

71
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>this writing instrument and plant it in the soil for

72
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>one full year. Now over at location number two, it's

73
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>been in the soil now for four months. It has

74
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>not been touched in Location number three. A month ago,

75
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I was able to reach into the soil and pull

76
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 1>it from all that was the average person says, Oh

77
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>my god, this is just so bad. Pull it from

78
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>that and go to the writing instruments page and put

79
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts right there. Did I feel something? Oh yeah,

80
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah. So when the arborist said that they don't

81
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 1>feel our love. These are not my words. These are

82
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics from Ernie's Forest
