Last week I was listen to Adam Curry’s PodFinder podcast. From that episode I learned about a podcast called JediTrainer.com, which is about the ancient Hawaiian practice of Huna. I subscribed to the show and downloaded all the past episodes. Yesterday afternoon, on my train ride home from work, I was listening to the first show where Pohaku explains a little bit about Huna and then gives some homework. The homework was for the listener to create a blue feather with their mind. That being, if you think about a blue feather as often as possilbe for 24 hours, then you will eventually see a blue feather somewhere. Once this happens it proves that you are in control of your own world. Ok, so this is a very simplified explaination, but the point is that your thoughts control what happens to you.

So, after listening to this first show I spent a couple minutes thinking about a blue feather. Then I put on some music and picked up a newspaper that someone had left behind on the train. Now here is the interesting part… This is the very first thing I saw when I opened up that newspaper.

It was the little feather icon that first caught my attention, but the quote next to it was what really got me. Now I have yet to see a blue feather anywhere, but then maybe this is my blue feather or as close as I will get to seeing one. Either way, it freaked me out a little.
