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

February 21, 2024   One of the most difficult walks I’ve placed myself on is staying true to my emails and texting discipline.  I cannot read and or respond to any of it until I’m finished in the recording studio.  Pulling the lens back I took note of how many digital notes I was sending out then complaining about how long the podcasting was taking.  I’ve treated my communications connection as a...

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?"

To see your story while believing in the presence of every path, even those we don't see. At times like this, our choices are to find faith in wandering. But that can't come as the answer.

February 20, 2024   If we were to truly look into our system of body language and expressions, how many divisions would be revealed?  Divisions that make good and bad decisions.  So many of us deny our moods yet our body language speaks the truth.  As children we are taught how to use our spoken words but I don’t remember being shown how to properly use body language.  Not until I became a martial...

So many thoughts inside our perception. The interpretation is usually explained by those we surround ourselves with. And if we don't agree, we throw tantrums about misunderstanding.

What's the best way to get someone to laugh. Multiple experts believe there are several different paths to activate. Telling a corny joke, don't overcrowd the conversation so use very few words. Sarcasm is a great performance and so is poking fun at the person but don't abuse them. My trick is being a background voice. Don't try to take over a moment. Add a little background to som...

Napster... For some reason that one time music streaming service popped up in my thoughts. There's a big chance you have no idea what Napster is. It really wasn't streaming because the way we know it today wasn't created yet. It was music service that hit its highest peak in 2001. It totally took out the world of music and everything else associated. But here in 2024 is the nightmare o...
