If You Give a Rat a Cookie

I wish I could stick with the format of the book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” by Laura Joffe Numeroff, though it really wasn’t the rats wearing me out. . .

I needed to mop the kitchen floor even though I knew it was going to be raining again in a few days Read the rest of this entry »

“Atoms are not things; they are only tendencies.”

It is probably difficult to see from reading this blog, but I tend to think too logically about things. It’s easy to accept things are as they are or as they have always been, to try to make things black or white so they are easy to process and file away. If we can see it or feel it or hear it, etcetera, it must be real. Where I have had a problem Read the rest of this entry »

Love and Gratitude

I read a lot of books, but sometimes there is one that is special. Early this morning, I finished one called “The Hidden Messages in Water” by Masaru Emoto. It is one of those books that makes many more questions than answers but still lead me in an interesting direction. It also gave me a name for something that I’ve been interested in, and it turns out others are, too (quantum physics). I have a lot of thinking to do about various theories presented, and I am intrigued by more significance to the number 108 besides those I’d already learned of (in relation to japa mala, for example).

Oversimplified, the book is one of his about his study on the effects of words, music, etcetera on water, or rather, its structure once frozen. The photographs are beautiful and the hypotheses interesting. It gave me a whole new way to look at love and gratitude, to literally look at them.

It also made me wonder if it’s a part of these new lessons I appear to be working on as this author’s work was recommended to me more than a year ago by my friend, Bahin. Why did I wait to read it?

Workbook for fiction?

I finished reading “The Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield a few weeks ago (have read a couple of books since then, actually). It was sent to me by my anam cara. He tells me that there is a workbook to go with it. This book is fiction although it is really cool and some of the ideas expressed in it make sense in the real world and could certainly be applied in everyday life. Still. . .a workbook? I can’t help but be curious about this. I think he’s bringing it when he comes to visit in a couple of weeks. This should be fun!
