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

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… While out in public do most people know what shirt they’re wearing?  Plus…Why don’t we feel refreshed when we wake up each new morning? I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

I've lived in this forest for 33 years. I've never stood next to another person by the lake. I've only shared one conversation with the bee keeper. How is it that this forest is blessed with so many families but those of us who cherish the forest say nothing at all?

Being part of the visions and the required process to see them through. It begins with the physical act of listening. Being present. Which is very difficult to do in a world where life feels like its moving too fast. We keep going back to see if we properly digested the experience. We can't sit around assuming. It's a test of our loyalty to grow. This is why we need daily reminders to check our hearts. Where are we in our decisions of growing forward?

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Why do people decide to not tell us that an event isn’t going to happen?  Plus… is it wrong to tell someone they’ve wronged you?  I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Not everybody plays the game at 100%. One look at our lifestyle away from the judgers, it turns out we're making our way through a new day at 10%. Our hair is messed up, clothes are stained and torn and our attitude is like me for me not what you want to see. 10%.

March 18, 2025   It’s too easy to drop our identity of Christianity.  Not that we become non-believers, but we stumble and fall short of acting and reacting in the name of our creator.  It's human to fall off the path.  It's when we don't call it out while it's happening that bring us unbelievable amounts of fear, doubt and shame.  It doesn't mean darkness shall rise.   Emotional rollercoasters are part of our daily expression.  It can't dominate the present.  There's always going to be times when we need to be tapped on the shoulder.  To wake up and find true love.
