The word goodbye is never brought up. I don't see an end but rather a continuation. Our eyes are locked in on foreseeing and not being mindful of what we truly see. It's how we live in our realms of reality. Foreseeing where we'd like to be is greater than knowing how the experience is being played out.

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. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

We're all very different when it comes to where we place our minds. Music serves as a free ride back to a past that we choose to visit or live in. I've spent several decades learning how to be strong as well as aware of my place in the right now. And being mindfully grateful for the gift. Yet, there are times when the music and old TV shows replant me on Ryan Ave in Billings, Montana. Reflecting isn't living in one's past. It's completely ok to stop in for a visit but to stay too long can have a negative impact.

In so many ways trees are endlessly giving to our human expectations. Yet we'll take down a tree for no real reason. Is there something here? The way we treat trees, is it also the way we treat other people?

The one thing people tend to forget is to properly take care of a tree. My neighbor doesn't prune his trees. He chops them down. Then goes out to buy another. We are guilty of treating people the same way. Throw out the old relationships and plant new people.

Research shows that trees and shrubs do not defuse sound. They absorb it. Sound moves through a collection of tree 13 times faster than other areas. I wonder then, when I hear music from the other side of this forest what am I sending to them? Rarely do I have music playing outside. But I have thoughts. A full display of my mental transistions.
