Karmic balance

My friends probably believe I use the word "karma" too much. But I can't avoid it. Not from habit, but evidence. I almost never fail to see some balance that eventually comes.

Statisticians would likely say if you look and wait long enough, you're bound to dig up correlations. But last night was the perfect example of how it just seems to balance out.

I went to catch up with a friend at a downtown establishment. It is the same spot where I last spent meaningful time with another long-time friend, someone who I in ways considered a mentor. It had been years since I'd been to the site, probably because that same friend wound up committing suicide.

Having arrived a few minutes early, I took the opportunity to make a call checking on a pregnant acquaintance. With minutes of my having made that call, she gave birth to a little girl.

Right there in those few minutes, I confronted sad death and had it salved with beautiful birth. It balances.
