In case anyone is a) reading this and b) not 100% convinced that I'm a friggin hippie:

I'm reading this book of my mom's called "The Reconnection," by somebody Pearl, about how he is the guy who has been chosen to bring to earth this new kind of energy that humankind has not experienced to eons, or something. He says he puts his hands near people and most of the time they are spontaneously healed. Honestly, I am intrigued, but doubtful. I'd be less intrigued if I hadn't seen an interview with him and the parents of this kid whose cerebral palsy he evidently healed. more later.
