It's great to be in a city like San Francisco, where so many people understand what I'm writing about. I think something like the earthquake makes this reflection deeper and deeper. Look at some of the things that happened during the (Loma Prieta) earthquake, one person being killed 12 centimeters from someone else who was perfectly fine and you say to yourself, 'Golly, what's the karma of all that?'"
