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…   If what we do today affects the next seven generations, how will we ever know the total impact?  Plus…what would life be like without a clock?           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…

Something feels very different in the forest this moment in spring. The birds seem more active and very unafraid. Like the deer they want to be extremely close to me. I can count the feathers on their chest. What's going on? This is why we need to play close attention to everything that makes up our atmosphere of right now. This isn't about you. You are only a character in this story.

Being held accountable. What we decide today will always have an impact on all things that follow. Our mental closets are full. Our minds and hearts are heavy. It's aging not decaying. This is why it's so important to know yourself. Who are you? By the time the future arrives those nearest your bloodline won't have any idea who you are. Yet, you started the fire.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Today’s focus is on those in retail.  What’s the best way to handle customers who endless bring things back to the store?  Plus…mistreatment at work is at its highest, what can we do about it?           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…
