The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 448 Stop Being So Selfish With Natures Love For Us

August 30, 2026 • 5 mins
When solitude reaches back to bite us. Those places or moments that invite so much love for our inner soul and they come with a twist in the plans. Are we being selfish with nature when we refuse to walk in the rain?

A lot of American businesses are locked in on cleaning house. People are getting laid off or fired. The laziest thing anyone can say is, "I didn't see it coming." Not true! The signs were there.

The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 447 Stop Crying Over Pouring Rain

August 23, 2026 • 4 mins
Caught in the center of a classic southern tropical storm. Three inches of hard pouring wet and the land has decided to shift. It didn't stop us from entering the forest. To study everything including the leaves of a tree to pine needles and more importantly the animals. Everything living creation was happy except for the human. We tend to always complain about rain.

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC.

Vocal De Frag Episode 210 The Hot New Fad In America Is To Fire Everybody

August 16, 2026 • 7 mins
No business is safe. No matter where you work, the new business model is to rid the system of its excess weight. Fire, layoff or cut the hours of the employees required to make business a success. Number crunchers don't see eye to eye with the images now tarnished by the American ego and its addiction to employee mistreatment and a bonus check managers will be rewarded with by accepting bad performances for cost cutting accounting ...

The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest Chapter 446 Trees Don't Feel Our Love

August 8, 2026 • 5 mins
An arborist told me in 2024 that trees do not take note of how much we love them. They do respond to our touch, but the relationship isn't what we think. It challenged me to take even a closer walk with the trees. Three writing instruments have been planted deep into the soil around North Carolina. The goal is to receive the energy and language from everything available to share that lives beneath the soil. So far, its three differ...

July 25, 2026 • 6 mins
Endlessly we exchange.  Even worse are the days when the physical locatiion of an answer is far far away in a Star Wars fantasy.  When you need to know how, there's rarely anybody around for an answer.  But when someone comes to you, you're expected to drop everything and super serve.  Stop giving away your how.  Your how is your how.  They're stealing your art.

    Love Trapped

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
