Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, you can find all of my podcasts in one location,
all seventeen of them. Sure. I love the platforms that
have been available all these years, but it's now time
to centralize it. Ero dot net, a r E dot net,
And thank you so much for your support for all
these years. My boy boy, Ernie, he's a Blue Crown conyer.
For over thirty two years, he's overlooked this forest right

(00:22):
here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. Every day, Ernie and
I sit in this beautiful home, overlooking the trees, the
nearby lake, and every bit of the wildlife that's strolling
so freely across this amazingly beautiful piece of Mother Earth.
Ernie and I share the same vision. It's this forest.
We both look into the trees and study the earth below.

(00:43):
I mean, there is something very spiritual going on here.
That's why I call it the Lyrics from 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. These aren't
my words, these are the lyrics from Earth Ernie's Forest,
Chapter number four hundred twenty six, May eleventh, twenty twenty four.

(01:06):
I've been kept from seeing the northern lights in our
southern sky these trees. I couldn't get a full vision
of the northern sky, a very rare moment in solar
storm history. Much of the world is being gifted right
now with the silent sights of the breathtaking Aurora. I
kept spinning out there in the forest, hoping the sky

(01:26):
would let me see a huge attempt to look through
the trees, but they were saying no, no, no, look
at me. But I want to see the sky with
all of its nighttime colors. But the trees wouldn't have it,
laying claim to their presence, with the cicadas being more important,
to which I agreed. Yes, these visiting insects have extremely

(01:47):
colorful shields and wings, but it's the night sky that
I want to see, not the bugs. And the trees
say no, it's time for you to look at the cicadas.
They're here for only six weeks. The trees wouldn't been
to give me a sneak peek at that northern sky
here in the south, so I settled instead on the

(02:08):
presence of the Big and Little Dipper, and of course
of Ryan's belt. Something about that sky, and especially at night.
Growing up in the state of Montana, which is the
Big Sky Country. As that child, I was very much
afraid of that nighttime sky because it was so big. Literally,

(02:29):
the Big Sky Country has a big sky. And when
I would stand out there and stare into the night
at the stars and all of the clusters of those
stars and everything else that was moving up there, especially
the airplanes, and of course every now and then I
thought I was seeing a spaceship, but that's absolutely false.
But then there would be a sonic boom, which you

(02:52):
can never explain, nor can you really see it up
there in the sky, but it's so loud that it
startles you no matter what age you are. And it's
that sound that really gave me a sense of PTSD
when it comes to looking into the sky. I am
going to stand here and enjoy something to let my
total guard down, Only for something like a sonic boom

(03:14):
to add such fright to my mind, body and soul,
I don't want it. So therefore I started not looking
into the sky. So on this particular day, May eleven,
twenty twenty four, even though I was being kept from
seeing those northern lights in a southern sky. The one
thing that I feared most was the sonic boom. The

(03:34):
sonic boom was very much in play up in Montana.
You don't hear much of it here in the South,
but up there, where things are flying at very very
high rates of speed, you would be bumping into the
sonic boom. So therefore I chose, as a child or
a young adult, to stop looking into the sky, which
is why I found it to be very interesting that

(03:55):
on May eleven, twenty twenty four, where were my eyes
looking towards the north while I was standing in the south.
There's a lesson to be learned there. Face your fears,
even though it could be a sonic boom, Face your fears,
and get a once in a lifetime view of something
such as the northern lights, which I've only seen once

(04:17):
in my life in the beautiful state of Montana. I'm errow.
These are not my words. These are the lyrics from
Ernie's Forest.
