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.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ernie is my blue Crown conyer. For over thirty years,
he's overlooked this forest right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina.
I mean every day Ernie sits in that beautiful home
of his, overlooking the trees, the nearby lake, and everything
that's down there that's wildlife as it strolls through such
an amazing peace field land. Ernie and I share the
same vision. It's this forest. We both look into the

(00:20):
trees and study the earth below. There's something very spiritual 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's willing to
share with me. These aren't my words, these are the
lyrics from Ernie's Forest, chapter number four hundred fourteen. A

(00:41):
cold to the bone wind has consumed the forest. This
new sun, the lake is far from looking like a
sheet of glass, reflecting the rays of light shared by
a loving universe. The waves of water act like ballet dancers,
heading in every possible direction without worry and or fear
of crashing into another. I'm completely fast with the birds,

(01:01):
while choosing not to wear a warm jacket. I'm immediately
reminded of the sound that there are so many different
birds making at this time, there's still so many migrating
birds present. To be in this moment of sound is
so difficult to put on a page because all you
ever hold as a reader is a vision of what
it could have been like. It's tough to see where
the wind is coming from because there are no leaves

(01:23):
in the trees, nothing to block the intruders who have
been hired to come here and clear things out. That's
everything twenty twenty three. The bright yellow daffodils are God's
way of saying spring is on its way. I'm fascinated
with the change in of the seasons, and the reason
why is because I think we as humans also go
through seasonal changes, but we don't make ourselves as visible

(01:46):
as Mother Nature does with a forest or of a
city park or someplace like this. But if we could
just identify how we evolve with these changes, those moments
where we are super cold or maybe we're just too warm,
and we want everything and if we don't get it,
we're going to throw a child's fit. But if we
don't start sharing our seasonal changes, how do we expect
to a get to know ourselves as well as get

(02:07):
to know others, and others get to know us. It's
a circle, just like the different seasons that we have
when it comes to the weather in this nation and
around the world. Understanding your seasonal changes will put you
in a mindset of learning how to be more confident
with the inner core of your thinking. These are not
my words, These are the lyrics from Ernie's Forrest
