The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 278

<p>A nibble of fall is in the air. &nbsp;A tingle of shivers race through the forest. &nbsp;I watch as the squirrels scamper with large particles in their mouths. &nbsp;It could be food or lumber for their tree houses. &nbsp;Native American spiritual studies teach us that squirrels represent change. &nbsp;I also take note of the bright red cardinals. &nbsp;So many of them on the ground, as if to see invisible seeds. &nbsp;The cardinal represents compassion. &nbsp;The human keeps marching on. &nbsp;We rarely stop to visit. &nbsp;With so much change constantly being thrown at us by way of the pandemic, politics and crime, we've not truly stopped to watch the message from Mother Nature. &nbsp;These words were originally written on September 4, 2021. &nbsp;Today is the 19th of January 2022. &nbsp;We still have snow and ice on the ground. &nbsp;Was the squirrel signaling to us to prepare for a colder winter. &nbsp;Was the cardinal telling us about the Omicron variant with its global numbers? &nbsp;The crows are in full flight. &nbsp;The yellowish once green leaves wave in the wind with peace. &nbsp;This lay of land. &nbsp;Just because I pay the taxes and take care of the forest floor doesn't make it mine. &nbsp;For I am only a visitor. &nbsp;We all are. &nbsp;In each and every day and way. &nbsp;A visitor. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/arroe-collins/message
