Cause and effect are interesting to explore ... the link generally accepted ... in Buddhism elevated to a Law, Karma ... plenty of reading on this elsewhere, for now a cautionary note for commentators invoking karma as revenge, which is a common error and surely leading to adverse consequences if practised ... though today's story is headed along another route ... the Velvet Path to be precise ... along which this morning's musing wandered to causality and the challenges of tracing causal links in the non-local field ... then along the path a bloke and his dog and since the sun was shining philosophy ensued for a while, including the information that he was seeking a suitable Care Home for his aged mother .... later, back in the village, a friend and sometime provider of social care in the Dale appears ... her story has a mother and a mother-in-law ... the latter in advanced stage of dementia and in a Residential Home "waiting to die"; the former in her own home and determined to stay there, the friend committed to support her in that, despite the geographical distance ... stimulating discussion of how to redesign social care radically ... the current system creaking ...
So, the causal chain between this morning's chance encounters and yesterday's intention is unclear ... which does not mean there isn't one ... the mysteries gladly embraced on Wear and Dao ...
Now, where's that business plan?
