Karma teaches responsibility for unskillful actions born to the person who commits them.
One of my last night’s out recently was to attend a small gathering with a few close friends and meet new be friends. We were at the Thomson Hotels’ rooftop Lounge. As the dusk turned to night the Toronto Panorama became alive. I love my city, I could stand on that rooftop all night if required taking it all in. I never want to miss a thing.
I had a lot of engaging conversations with some spectacular people, however as I recanted with a particular individual what my upcoming week had planned she was quite empathetic. I had discerned what a rotten year I’ve had ‘physically’. Starting off in April with a severely bruised ankle after my first Spring season soccer game, to dislocating my jaw in the last game in June. I couple that with my inability to go running because of all these issues and of course the surgery scheduled to repair my severed EHL.
She stated that certainly my Karma repayment should be complete after this. I let this thought linger in my mind. I chalked it up to bad luck, aging bones etc. Although I’m not an evil person, I know Karma has a way of sneaking up on you and reminding you to repay the offense.
I was always trying to cheat time. Squeeze every second out of every day. I wasn’t really enjoying all that was around me. I was just doing it. Commuting, working, lunching, dining, attending activities with my children, attending sporting events, participating in events. It was a sonic overload of my time. I wasn’t really enjoying anything, however I was doing everything.
So really, me sitting here static, sans movement is Karma saying give back some time. Time to heal, time to enjoy life; and feel the breath within the soul. Close my eyes and absorb tranquility. I know I’m not missing much out there anyway. What I require is all in here…
