Moving Kharma

Today, my friend George provided more anecdotal

affirmation for my research into a theory of "moving kharma."

Def: the cost of moving above and beyond

the price of tickets, gasoline, truck rental, shoes, etc.

regardless of destination--next door, across town, around the world--

broken glass, flat tire, dropped transmission, a/c on the fritz,

smashed thumb, bumped head/elbow/knee, broken heel, ripped seam

doesn't matter. . . payment not commensurate with time nor distance.

Though always disruptive to best laid plans,

when aware of being amidst "moving kharma" Doc B's Rx is: pause,

remember to breathe, resume and repeat when necessary.

Moving kharma is a principle of universal synchronicity

and is a candidate for a corollary to Murphy’s Law.

The principle in brief:

moving with intent (regardless of motive) from one location to another

is contrary to the order sustaining the mover,

especially when non-conscious elements are in play.

Hence, the Rx of pause, breathe, resume.

Distinguished from Murphy,

MovingKharma seems to possess an element of debt

which may prove compounding if not recognized.

My friend George is preparing for an overseas vacation,

leaving day after tomorrow. Yesterday,

he sold a very expensive duplicate camera system

to help finance the journey. Today, he sends me a note:

The check bounced and the compressor in his a/c system

stopped working. Same a/c system that went on the fritz

same time last year just before departure on a journey

to yet another foreign land.
