On Being Surprised.

I just watched Tom Shadyac’s filmed essay I AM and discovered that I’m more natural than the normal folks are. Science proves me right, apparently.

I learned, for example, that the heart exerts far more influence on the mind than the mind does the heart. I also learned that my mood influences everything around me, as I’ve long thought it did. And I learned that my faith in the power of one is neither misguided nor ineffective.

And there was me thinking I was weird. Instead, it turns that I’m connected but different by virtue of the fact that I stopped believing the lie quite a long time ago.

Should I say ‘Damn!’ Not this time. Being told by the experts that I’m getting it right was both refreshing and a little moving.
