So my husband got hit up by a panhandler today in a grocery store parking lot.\u00a0 He had a hardluck story about his pregnant wife being stuck in a car (which was not visible to my husband), in the horrible summer heat, out of gas and not able to get home (which was, according to this gentelman, forty or fifty miles away).\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is entirely counter to my husband’s nature to give away our money, as we have none.\u00a0 But, in a feeble attempt to possibly right our karmic scales (as demonstrated by recent events listed in previous blogs: dying pets, car accidents, ailing parents, etc.) my husband emptied the change from his pockets and happily gave it to his new friend, let’s call him “Louie”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The result:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Louie – “That’s all you got?? Man, it ain’t like I’m just tryin’ to get around the corner!\u00a0 You sure you ain’t holdin’ out???”<\/p>\n
Husband – (to self) “How did he know I had three dollars in my wallet?”<\/p>\n
Hmmm, interesting… What does it mean when a\u00a0weak attempt to create karmic equity is openly ridiculed?\u00a0 Is my husband enjoying this?\u00a0 Is\u00a0he sewing the seeds of karmic disruption by holding out on the panhandler with nice athletic shoes and knee high, green stiped tube socks with an invisible wife\/out of gas car??\u00a0 Only tomorrow will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
