Speaker 1: You want variety to what you listen to while you're
driving to work, or hanging out at the office, or
even just being at home all by yourself. Arrow dot

talking with rockstars and movie stars. There is so much more.
Arrow dot net Aarre dot net. Ernie is a Blue
Crown conyre. For over thirty two years, he and I
have overlooked this forest right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina.
I mean, every day, the two of us sit here
in this beautiful forest, overlooking the trees, nearby lake and
every bit the wildlife strolling through such an amazing piece
of land. Ernie and I share the same vision. It's
this forest. We both look into those trees and study
the earth below. There's something very spiritual going on here.
It's the lyrics to Ernie's Forest. We both receive an
amazing amount of energy. I put all of my trust
and skills as a student into what he is willing
to share with me. I mean to see the two
of us together by God in heaven. These aren't my words,
these are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest, Chapter number four hundred,
twenty three April twentieth twenty twenty four. I love spending
spring inside this forest, from the winds carrying brand new
seeds to the early morning and late afternoon rains that
really do feed the roots of these skyscraping trees. Who
would have ever thought there'd be so many different shades
of green. I mean, only weeks ago, all of this
was bear like that of a skeleton in a biology
class or lab. The rebirth of the forest comes with
strength as well as empowerment. It helps us believe in rebirth,
and all that was once felt empty and lost has
been given another season to showcase. Its a ray of
hope and beauty. But that's not the entire story. Like
human life, all that is spring is nurtured by mother Nature,
and once summertime arrives, all of this art becomes survival mode.
Oh yeah, Mama Nature is still here, but you've got
to learn how to grow on your own. The beauty
and the beast. It's a gift that's given to us
by way of the universe, learning from it by being
present when winter becomes spring, when spring becomes summer, And
how do you act and react when fall sets in
and everything starts to transition even in your own personal life,
you are going through every one of these seasonal changes.
But I believe, inside my soul, and I'm not even
a professional, I believe we don't have four seasons in
the human life. I believe we have multiple twenty thirty,
maybe even fifty. And what I mean by that is
is that we are constantly moving through mindsets. Transitions is
what I call them, which is the reason why I
take a transition walk every single day, just so that
I can step into the way I am thinking, the
way that I'm acting, reacting, and trying to replenish this
life that I basically, you know, ten fifteen minutes ago ruined.
We all do it. We all sit there and go, goh,
why did I react like that? Okay, now it's time
to put new leaves on our trees. These are not
my words, These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.
