I've been a part of this forest for nearly 34 years. Not to my knowledge is there another collection of writing about this very special collection of trees. Handwritten and recorded adventures explored by a writer and his instrument. This week we're sharing the journey of the Chrystal Forest.

Every day we face another now what challenge. From the national headlines to the four walls of our homes, there's always going to be another now what. It gets weird when we wake up to a new day that does not come with one. We've grown accustomed to answering a now what! It's like an extremely busy airport with a ton of now what's lined up for takeoff. What's the best way to answer them? Is there a chosen ambition? The moment you ignore your now what it's a long stroll across a desert floor. Yeah, another now what?

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What’s the better health plan?  Daily stretching exercising or pumping up the weights?  Plus…we are guilty of tagging ourselves to certain days of the week and its proving to be a bad decision.    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'm not saying using paper bags isn't good for the environment but it's not the go to when truly trying to save the planet. Begin a journey of preserving not just the trees but the legacy other generations will need to step forward with a better understanding of where we've been.

What we need is a good ole fashioned southern healing. To stop pretending we aren't sick and take it on with true spiritual strength. The candy-coated plastic bathroom mirror smile isn't going to stop the rioting in Minneapolis. It goes much deeper into our roots. This is no different than those fake videos of preachers with assumed victims with mental monsters that scream, rattle, shake, stumble and speak in self-created tongue. We as a generation are followers giving permission to others to do the dirty work. Now's not the time to play favoritism.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   How many school students today depend on AI technology to get their answers and problems solved?  Plus…is social media to blame for the multiple wars around the world?    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…

We all say it, " I don't have time for this." Really? Yet you are willing to do that! I don't have time for this. Is it keeping you from your greatest victory?
