OK, I finally got around to adding some blogs I've been reading regularly for a while. An introduction to the newbies:

Yeah, I'm so close to ya if I yell "KEERRRAAAA!" loud enough you might actually hear me. You should come down here for tea sometime after Pookie's completely healed and back to herself again - translation: when I'm not the only one cleaning house. :)

Thanks! I'll aim for a time when a boat trip will be pleasant. I have taken the catamaran to Leirvik, so I already know that routine. If you guys visit Bergen, let me know. PS: I don't mind pets, including dust bunnies.

Are they ever pleasant? Well, ok, I take that back. The ones with the upstairs seating areas are ok, but I occasionally I've had the one with the basement seating . . . ugh, those are awful.

And thank you. Don't worry, the cats stay at home, we don't have a faithful lil puppy dog yet, but I'm working on it. I lost the leash to my dust bunny, so he stays home, too. :)

Thanks for the linky. And while you may not realize it, I was on MW long ago and remember you from there. I think I first started posting to MW in '94 or '95. That place turned into such a cesspool I can't bear it anymore.

woot! It's a great list! I'm glad to see Tim in there -- I've become a big fan of late as well! I'm looking forward to checking out the others.

Tim, the ideal way to get to Stord is on the old steamer "Granvin".

Mark, my feet are perfect, thank you.

Happy surfing, Alice!

Jeff, I'm trying to remember exactly who all was on misc.writing. Some that I read regularly on mw I don't read as bloggers and vice-versa. Weird, that.

The bloggers I read now who used to be (possibly still are) on MW are PJ, Paula, Sal, Alan Hope, Gekko and you. I think that's about it.

I always looked forward to Gekko's posts on mw but I haven't been drawn to her blog - yet. Perhaps because what I enjoyed were her terse one-line retorts (often ending with "innit"). Still, the next time I'm hanging at the blog refridgerator, looking for something satiating, I'll run down Paula's list o' links. For now, I'm satisfied.

I really enjoy your photography, even if I don't always comment on your blog.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
