The multiple layers of mindsets we carry forward and somehow, we're convinced Mother Nature only gives the planet four seasons to deal with. Yet, as humans we're endlessly making our way through storms and temperature changes in attitude. What can we learn from nature?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
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
net a r Oe dot Net. It's not always about
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

(00:21):
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.

(00:44):
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

(01:07):
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

(01:30):
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.

(01:54):
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

(02:14):
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

(02:38):
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

(03:01):
to put new leaves on our trees. These are not
my words, These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forest.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
