The Lyrics From Rainbow Forest Chapter 364 Giving Back To The Forest

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

Waking up to a spring storm. The trees and other living things appear to be prepared to receive. They act like they're listening. Their roots require a good down pour. My thoughts wander. What about our roots? We're constantly running! What if these trees could openly move like the snakes and deer below?

I started from scratch. Planting bulbs. Colocasia Esculenta or Elephant Ears. I'm willing to watch them in whatever is their presence in the present. To receive from their paths of moving forward. Learning the language of this forest. A partner in the process of receiving. Only to ask, "What am I giving back?"

Colder weather usually means the mice are moving indoors. The average home has 5 to 6 and requires 3 months to get fully get rid of them. Is there a positive about mice? They are a totem animal and they do bring messages about how we warehouse not just materialistic things but emotional connections.

February 7, 2024 A huge building storm is all around us. Animal behavior in the forest is set on calm. The hawk is screeching in the sky while the deer eat one bite at a time. It's the clouds that are moving, as if to be ice skating across the Carolina sky. The human sees rain in the forecast and cancels their plans for the day. We'll watch from our multiple windows hoping for the sun to reappear quickly. We all face storms. Not just the weather outdoors. Meteorologists can't stop a southern rain storm but we can listen to our mental storms. We feel them approaching and for some reason the calling is to push them away. To observe from the inner windows. It's time to start listening. To identify with the triggers while locating forgiveness.

Weather is beyond our control. When it turns bad we prepare by taking shelter. What about our mental storms? Are we given fair warning before being brutalized by a system of change? Learning how to listen, predict and prepare are issues that shouldn't be set aside. It's not out of sight out of mind. There's a reason why you had that tornado dream last night.
