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

Our paths are vivid ambitions turned into unexpected transitions.  Here we are!  A place of peace, reflection and lots of questions.  It feels taller than the nearest rolling hill.  We really don't have mountains in our lives; it's our imaginations generating a story as a way of making the decision to either fit in or set free.  The more we procrastinate the higher our chances of being spiritually and physically left behind.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Most of us are familiar with white noise.  As of late people have elevated themselves to something called green noise?  What’s the difference?   Plus…REM is a valuable asset when it comes to the department of sleeping.  What if it’s not happening?  Oh oh…           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…

The challenges of being the owner of a forest.  Do you allow the forested floor to be natural with fallen branches and leaves or is this a selfie moment and it's got to be uncluttered and clean.  Your answer will serve as a tool in multiple areas of your personal life.  

We are being weighed down! Lost paths, stolen ambitions and misguided answers turned into stones. Our guts are full of anxiety. Our hearts poisoned by the presence of other people's dreams coming true, but yours aren't. We use unfair mechanisms called comparison by way of innocently using judgement as a guide. Pull the camera lens back. Stop focusing in on what we think the real story. Most of us have never walked a mile in another person's shoes. Reflection is a great tool but only if it's not associated with jealousy and competition.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What if we ignored the food particles and other objects caught between our teeth?  Plus…do computers have a mind of their own?            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 playful pot shots that others toss in your direction. Calling you old or maybe a little more rounded. They mean it in jest but you're taking it seriously. How can we move around these jabs of joy?

We are constantly looking for new ways to lock into a word by way of full activation. Do we have the required tools? We already know we can't instantly fix things; it's on God time. Which isn't fair to this modern-day society which is fed by rivers and channels of needs that require being met. Then we move on to the next project.
