Don’t you just love it when the Karmic cycle shows itself clearly. Stumbling out of my room this morning, still suffering slightly from this blasted cold, I came down for coffee and, in the process, managed to knock our honeypot off the table, sending it crashing to the floor. Now, there is a strong belief in Thai culture that what appears to be bad Karma is not always so. You may trip and sprain your ankle and think this bad Karma, but maybe, if you had not done so, you would have continued your walk, been crossing a road and got run over by a speeding Tuk Tuk. Or, as in my case, you may drop your 3 quarters full honeypot and think this bad Karma. Then, you go off to the market for your daily shopping, and on enquiring about where you might find Honey, discover that your good friend in the market actually sells very good local honey at an extremely good price; much less than you have been paying for honey previously. During your stay in Chiang Mai,( maybe in one of our guest rooms), find room in your heart and soul to absorb the culture, take it with you, and be happy:-)
What a wonderful ambassador you are. Making people aware of some things that others would take for granted or not even recognise shows your admirable sensitivity.
