Karmic Debt Paid...?
We landed yesterday in Heathrow to a lovely grey, mild English winter day... We made our way to collect our car, which we discovered was in Gatwick...!
'I am so sorry' I said to Anadi.. 'I do remember now...'
He wasn't phased at all, but we did have a plan to meet his Dad and Gran at 4pm who so not live far from Heathrow...
The car hire people offered us a taxi ride in a white jag for £85...!
'Lets do it' I said...
'It would have cost you £50 extra to have booked the car here to be taken back to Gatwick, anyway...' The hire man offered...
'So it's only £35 really' I laughed...
'All part of the adventure' Anadi said, when I apologised again for my mistake...
As we were speeding back up the same motorway we had just sped down in the pouring rain with our nice taxi man, Anadi said 'I am sure he was glad of that unexpected fare, and we don't know what karmic debt we might have just paid...'
The winter solstice approaches, and I am going to London today, to see my friend Wendy...
Meeting on the winter Solstice used to be a yearly occasion, it hasn't happened for the past three because of my changed life... And so today is a special day, we are back...
Celebrating our years of friendship, the special essence of the solstice, the power of love and connection....
Later on I am meeting up with another old friend,(who prefers anonymity!) we established the other day that it is fifteen years ago since we met...
'I'll give you an address where we can meet' he volunteered; he has a meeting near where I will be in convent garden a hop skip and a jump away...
'And you expect me to find it!' I laughed...
'Oh I forgot you were useless' he laughed too 'Stay in one place and I will come and find you!'
And then this evening Anadi and I are meeting up with Si and Fi, his girlfriend (who edited 'Girlfriend for a year')) in a cocktail bar in Richmond...
We have been planning these cocktails together since last November (2014)... But all of our travels and Si and Fi's, have meant this is our first opportunity when we are staying within a couple of miles of each other...
The orbits of connection...
Like planets we move around and return again and again in circles...
Sometimes the meetings and the orbits are just fleeting, one offs...
But with some there is a resonance and vibration that means we will keep meeting, again and again, an energetic connection, as we journey, something to learn, something to teach, something to do together, something to share...
We often don't know until we look back and say
'Ah that was it...'
This morning Anadi left early for a meeting...
And I headed out into glorious Richmond Park...
A cold bright December morning, a few other runners, a few puddles to jump, and the path round the park that I first ran on when I was 22 years old....
