Had a very interesting encounter last night at one of the local watering holes. Thought you might like to hear about it…

I met a Japanese punk rocker and his girlfriend and you couldn’t image two greater sets of opposites. We spoke completely different languages… and I’m not talking about English and Japanese, because he spoke very good English… which was one of the first things that really surprised me. I mean our values, or interests, our education, our political leanings, our religions and basically everything that could possible be discussed were exact opposites.

You should have no problem then imagining my astonishment in finding out that he and his girlfriend were Reiki Masters.

You could’ve blown me over with a feather.

Upon discovering this I grilled him on Reiki, intent on proving his inability to properly understand Reiki, what with the tattoos, spiked hair and miscellaneous body piercings… how could he?

I failed.

His knowledge of the subtle Reiki energies, techniques and applications was amazing.

How could two people, with such diverse interests come together to agree at such a deep level on anything? Especially something as abstract as Reiki?

After coming to the realization that there was more to him than meets the eye it really got me thinking, and the implications that I may have seriously misjudged an entire generation is now uncomfortably looming much too closely.

This guy actually went as far as to show me a few energy exercises that even I had never heard of.

What moxie!!!

I guess there is a lesson to be learned here, although I can’t quite put my finger on it… something about not judging books by their covers or something like that. I’m sure I’ll figure it out once the shock wears off.

Imagine!!!
