The Power of Love

  Many years ago, while studying for my degree in animal behavior, one of my professors said “treasure your exceptions”, meaning to pay attention to the outliers since they contain valuable information.  Then, when I became disabled in 1987-88, I attended a workshop for people living with AIDS using the techniques of attitudinal healing (unconditional love, meditation, visualization).  One person at that workshop had been sent home from the hospital to die of his AIDS and, when I met him, he was vibrant, apparently healthy and HIV negative.  He was an outlier.  He also inspired me to try using the power of love and self-healing.  I am now an outlier as well.
