Now is the time to grow. To reach out into the openness of connections. It's ok to have questions, that's how we become stronger. As for being perfect? The greatest book of all time hasn't been rewritten and it's packed full of cheaters, challenges and bad behavior. But that doesn't give us permission to break the rules. It's to help lighten up the self-torturing we tend to put our hearts through.

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…   Is there a difference between judging and critiquing?  Are they one in the same?  Plus…how are people affording the high cost of renting?                                          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…

When the presence of your family continues to visit your sacred circle. How can you live so close to a large city and still hear the calling of the hawk? The hooting of the owls and a six-point buck?

Fences... We tend to put borders around our ambitions and valuables without letting anyone in until it's almost too late. We were born to collaborate. Designed to create together by way of conversation and sharing our imaginations. Yet, we are quick to set up a fence. The goal should be to work with others without judgement. Critiquing is ok if it's done so constructively. Stop doing things with or for others expecting something in return.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why do men pee so much late at night?  Plus…the men and women of radio, why are they constantly moving from city to city?                                         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…
