Arroe Collins Forest Stories

Isn't there an old saying about nobody truly can hear the effects of a tree when it comes crashing down? Living inside a forest for 34 years, I've heard a lot of trees meeting their new neighbors as they face plant in the forest floor. I never want to enter a day until I've loved as well as recognized the skyscrapers that have spent many many more years on this planet then I the Poet with a pen.

These are some dark times on the American job front. No your boss doesn't care about you. No they aren't interested in your future. It's SYA their own asses. No matter how many years you've spent with a business, the times have changed. Being aware of all things while taking note of your next job actually being worse.

In everything we do, in all we share, it's based upon a true story. How you think, act, react and repair. Based upon a true story. You lived it! How you share it is based upon a true story. It changed me as a daily writer. Although I just lived a moment, the writer inks the page with its interpretation of the actuality which makes it based upon a true story.

Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn’t about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn’t about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection…   Close:    The Resurrection is a true story.  Learn more about this forest and My Boy Boy Ernie on Arroe.net.  His story, journey and new path with a writing instrument are available on the podcast The Lyrics From Ernie’s Forest. Future episodes of this podcast will focus on the transition of materialistic value to that of an authentic storyteller.  The ice storms, a record setting 11 inches of snow, the fear of walking to the grave site to find nothing. The Resurrection.  Faith, hope, forgiveness and discovery. What lessons will the writing instrument bring back to the surface of walking forward?  Let it rise above our tears.

When I entered this forest in 1992 my heart wasn't focused on the present. The calling was to put myself in 2040. How often do we put ourselves in a position of exploration and never take the time to see what the invisible visionaries put into play decades before your arrival? Can you spot the fingerprint of one who foresaw longevity?

In our last episode we took note of the earth giving up something of human value. How? On this episode we look deeper into the mystery to see how reality plays its own role in our efforts of planting purpose.

Ghosting a friend or family member in 2026 versus dumping your friends while in middle and high school. They are one in the same except now we have a title. Ghosting... It's completely natural and it comes with a lot of weight or would that be wait? How many times have you waited too long on a friend and the weight of it all was too much to bare?

With so much sickness on this planet, can we give it to a tree? A bigger story rests in the idea of a tree giving you the virus first. What?

True story...my boy boy Ernie was laid to rest in this forest in January of 2026. I placed three crosses in the soil with him. Today, nearly six months later, those three crosses were found on the surface of the forest floor. How?
