WHAT IS STRANGE?
(Some thoughts about normality in honour of Masatomo Sakurai)

	Time travel
	is nothing extraordinary.

	Reading minds from a distance
	is actually no surprise.

	Sensing things before they happen
	is a skill anyone can master.

	Healing through energy 
	is actually 'normal' if we opened our eyes.

	However,
	what's truly weird 
	is seeking a 'golden future'
	when the present is adequate,
	or fretting over past mistakes
	long after they have ceased.

	What's laughably odd is
	repeating old habits   
	while realizing they are fruitless
	or sacrificing yourself for something
	that is a source of misery.

	What's comically queer 
	is believing one set of dogmas 
	can explain all phenomena,
	or pretending to be 'normal'
	in a universe that's filled with mysteries 
	that are wonderfully & inexplicably strange.
