How karma works

It’s really good that I didn’t tease stronger for locking herself out last week, because the very next day I lost my own keys. That’s karma! No wait, that’s not right – the karma wasn’t that I lost the keys, it’s that they were returned to me so quickly.
The quick return was because of this:


This keyring tag was a gift on my 21st birthday, waaaay back in ’97, from the redoubtable Rob Moon. I’ve carried it with me ever since, all over the world. When my keys slipped out of my pocket at a conference, they were handed in to the woman co-ordinating everything. She thought to herself “there’s only one person who would have that on a keyring tag”.
So thanks Marie, thanks Rob, and thanks karmic principles. That could have been an annoying turn of events but it turned out just fine.
