My daughter-in-law, who is about 7.5 months pregnant, had her water break last week. She's in the hospital, under observation, with the likelihood of the baby coming before term being high. She was due December 4, but will probably deliver before then. Keeping them (the whole family) in my daily prayers.

Been thinking a lot about karma and what it means in this life. It's an opportunity to reverse things that were poorly managed in previous lives and put them right this time around. It's also a chance to see what effects past lives can have here and now--what is produced out of "bad" karma and what it created so far--until things are brought to consciousness.

I can see that where I am now, what I am now, what I have done in this life all has its roots in what I failed to do previously--and I can see clearly how it's played out and continues to unfold. Nothing is by accident! May I get the strength to begin to unravel some of those karmic threads this time around. If not, there will be other chances, but I need to do what I can do--as much as possible. I see it clearly! Now, action is required.

Almost finished reading Autobiography of a Yogi. Wonder what my life would have been like had I read it in my youth. Perhaps no different; perhaps not. It's affecting me now--now that I can take in what is being said. Jai guru, jai guru, jai guru, jai! I walked in those same Himalayas and stood in those same places. But, I was unawake then. What am I now?

Saints and sages of all religions--protect and guard my daughter-in-law and her baby in the weeks ahead. May they both be safe and healthy! So be it!
