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 are presently standing in questions, frustration, doubt, disconnection, and political infatuation. So many obstacles in the way of having the opportunity to live our lives and not be pawns in a governmental scheme or corporate takeover that leads to the best of the best sitting on the sidelines. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We elect people into office. They can't act adult enough to work together only to see the people who elected them suffer on the streets of America. Then forget about the struggles on election day.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   How is it that we’ve gotten really good at hiding our reality?  Plus…now that we know we’re hiders, how did we get into this situation?            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 get so used to smashing bugs, cutting the heads off snakes and clearing the land of several hundred deer. Man is control of that! Yet we complain about crime and the murders associated. Why is this balance off? Learning to love all living things strengthens our connections in life. Time to stand on the sidelines like a silent wolf and learn new things about being present.

We are walking in an area of history that feels like we've already lived it. Rarely does anyone sound their own horn. We're locked in a wait and see mode because it's easier to mop up a mess than run to an event that may never rise. How many of us are being sent signals or narratives only to set them aside. It'll be our family members that will locate them at the time of transition.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Is it a guy thing to get up several times in the middle of the night and donate a pint of something to the cause?  Plus…what is thrashing?  Is it natural?  Why do people thrash?           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…

Those moments you want to have the last word. Oh, it's going to be great! Not a pissing contest but just a moment when you look like you've got it all together. Then you do it! You say something you shouldn't have said.

We are here to learn as well as teach. Maybe that's where the mix up is. Do we really need both? Learning and leading... There's got to be and authentic understanding of how important being present is. Learning from the challenges to lead us through changes. Uniting in forgiveness.
