While he and my friend from last night may not have been thinking about or describing karma in the same way, both were comfortable and compelled to ruminate upon it.
Last night, I got a call from an old friend and during our conversation, he brought up the idea of karma. He said, “People think karma is punishment, or some sort of moral justice system, but I think of it almost as a tutor or a teacher that supplies us with the information we need when we need it. How we live our lives is the result of our karma; it’s our information in action.”
When we finished setting up our booth, which included about 10 or so of his titles and two of mine, he pulled me aside and directed my attention to some people standing in the aisle and at nearby tables. That was such a gift because, otherwise, I too would likely have experienced that same stress and strain over those next few days.
