I cherish knowing we can speak with trees but the first book comprised transcripts, without seeing Michael sharing the marvels with his family. In book two, Michael included Treenie all the time and related a story. His writing is still overdone; annoying things like water is "gentle" and I hated reading of animals being killed. Overall Michael was surprisingly slow to grasp the concepts of his mystical journies.

I took a break from Michael's flowerly writing, not a propos for the cause of revealing new thoughts: the united consciousness of Earth. First, his introduction was too slow; anxious about prepping readers for ideas he had trouble with. I am continuing the second book, "Journey Into Nature" and find it odd he gives it no introduction. His inner self is suddenly inside a rock, meeting famous nature spirit, "Pan".

I have finished the first half, Michael J. Roads' book called "Talking With Nature". Because this contains his second too and I like breaks between authors and genres, I will leave this title here until I take up "Journey Into Nature". To accurately count my 2017 reading, I will review a single copy of "Talking With Nature'. Finishing the sequel, "Journey Into Nature", will close this copy of mine later this year.

I love the knowledge this book bestows and a refersher of awareness I have faith in, even if I don't usually hear conversation. I perceive a tree's love and sentience, like the Cottonwood of my childhood home. Books like these encourage me to concentrate on removing the fog barrier and of course, not caring what others think. Michael needs to curb the verbose writing style. This is the time to be straightforward.

I am reading slowly not for lack of absorbing the wonderful confirmation that my trees, plants, and the consciousness of my landscape hears me. It is partly due to catching up book review-writing and my blog, then falling asleep by the time I retire to bed. The happiest reason is that Manitoba is in its blessed garden season! 3/4 of our gardens are sown and all our flower baskets! Herb garden and flowerbeds next!
