Do trees have feelings too?

That's today's schedule shot then!

Brilliant Green was pretty interesting and was £2.00 through the Kindle app recently. Easy and short read.

Here is what his book was partly based on - the wonderful work of Suzanne Simard:

That was a great clip!

 

I'm not sure the other sofa dwellers were entirely convinced or keen for after show beers though!!

 

Haven't made great in-roads with the book yet, and mindful that I'm likely to be a receptive audience, my first concern having watched that is that the "arrogance" (perhaps also indicative of the limitations of humans to express thoughts or verbalise ideas outside of our own familiar parameters) of human thinking, that we as a species, have to (or tend to) compare, measure or liken everything to ourselves.

 

Just maybe, humans are the parasites and the trees are "talking" about us!

I just finished reading this book. I genuinely enjoyed it. Not a great deal I didn't already know, though the manner in which the author conveys his knowledge is quite brilliant. It's so easy to read, it's as if the words just roll gracefully off the page. Certainly one people should buy, as it completely instills a heightened sense of morality in the reader. Look after the trees, treat them with care and respect, be humble in their presence, and do not deny them their social needs. Like us, trees need their parents (sometimes surrogates), as do they need their kin and comrades.

They are symbiotic association at its very finest!

 

The noblest living thing on this planet!

 

Enough to make you into an awakened Druid!

Bloody hell.... I haven't got past the intro yet! Too busy or not using my time properly

My exact problem!

 

I buy the books expecting to take them in-in some kind of Matrix speed reading fashion and then procrastination takes over!
