If you take a book into a forest.. Will the trees cry?
Their friends have been pulped, and reformed into this monstrosity ,which I hold in my hand.
A vessel for trite human emotion.
Gratuitously I read poetry for the fallen, walking among them.
A pulped heart, a forlorn life, vandalized with human desire.
That vile self-awareness leading us to modernity.
Will the trees like jokes?
I’ll read them some jokes on my next forest walk.
My forest walks really cheer me up.
Tim Willow Why this blonkers blog?
Why not join in and leave a comment.
Why not ask me a silly question?
Even if it isn’t silly I am sure my answer will be.
For the amateur killer, one is the loneliest number
The rebel fish 
Next time take a Kindle (other eBook readers are available)…the trees will thank you.

I think it all depends on which book you take into the forest. I mean no one wants to end up as page 23 of The Art of the Deal, least of all a majestic oak. (Otherwise known as Uncle Fred).

It’s the Donald, of course he killed more trees than anyone else in the history of publishing.

Certainly killing trees for the worst reasons. Bible justifiable use of trees… The Donald….

Can we do a Donald tree double swap? Walking and talking for the trees,even things up a little..

Personally, I think someone already swapped the Donald with an orange Truffula tree. The Lorax was not pleased….

I’m stumped.
Do I bough to technology and take a leaf out of Natalie’s book,
branching out and stick my reading on a kindle?
Do trees ‘cry’?
And who is Donald?

Too many questions! I would rather not go into the forest with a book. By the way, are there any forests left?

Yes, who is Donald?
i think you are safer to branch off into a more tree-friendly activity for your forest walks, such as playing music. They would like that better… though they would probably prefer brass instruments.

The trees will definitely cry unless it’s one of my books, in which case they will rejoice and regret that they have but many lives to give for the greater good. 🙂

I like to think of books as a bit like those gemstones you can get that are made out of the ashes of a loved one who has died. The trees died, but they live on in the form of a wonderful book that touches the hearts of those who read its pages.
A tribute, not a desecration. 🙂

Tolkien referred to them as the Ent wives and we saw the Ents going off in search of them. Never did learn if the Ents found their wives.
