The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 421 Learning To Love All Living Things

October 5, 2025 • 5 mins

We get so used to smashing bugs, cutting the heads off snakes and clearing the land of several hundred deer. Man is control of that! Yet we complain about crime and the murders associated. Why is this balance off? Learning to love all living things strengthens our connections in life. Time to stand on the sidelines like a silent wolf and learn new things about being present.

Something feels very different in the forest this moment in spring. The birds seem more active and very unafraid. Like the deer they want to be extremely close to me. I can count the feathers on their chest. What's going on? This is why we need to play close attention to everything that makes up our atmosphere of right now. This isn't about you. You are only a character in this story.

The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 417 Your Best Lessons Are Taught In The Rain

August 30, 2025 • 3 mins

Rather than looking at a rainy day as being another reason or season to mope around... Take the time to find interest in the animals in your park, neighborhood or while visiting your back or front yard. They never come across as being depressed or a Debbie Downer.

The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 416 Unique Lesson From A Very Leafy Tree

August 24, 2025 • 3 mins

A single tree at the tail end of winter is still covered with leaves. I don't think it's shouting, "Hey look at me!" I feel the message is based on teaching those who stop in for a visit that it's completely ok to be unique.

The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 414 Witnessing Seasonal Changes

August 10, 2025 • 2 mins

Leafless trees that can't identify which direction the wind is coming from. The water in the nearby lake acts like ballerinas dancing in ways that keeps them from slamming into each other. The several layers of bird songs and one daffodil. God's way of saying spring is on the way.
