Daring Karma Follows

On those days when you look around and see chaos in your wake, step back and reflect on the recent past. Have you missed a step?

Today started out much like any other day - a bit disorganized (we're moving), but otherwise well planned and intact. Then the chaos started. Not just a little chaos, but mass chaos with crazy events connecting dots I didn't know existed. Life took turns onto roads that hadn't even been there earlier and I was forced to sit on the side lines and watch as life fell apart before my eyes.

After much wonder, I prayed for rain.

Rain is my "solution". When life is going awry, I ask for rain. It washes away the "karma" and allows peace to fill me up again. The clouds were gathering on the horizon but only a few sprinkles fell. Eventually, a downpour came, washing away the chaos and allowing in the blessings.

By the time we got home the chaos had disappeared and peace filled its place. Life was sane again for a moment. The world took on a soft glow with sparks of lightning and rolls of thunder. I looked around at the love surrounding me and realized that the chaos had been simply a distraction. Life, the one that I'd stepped out of, continued on in step with time, and in God's protection.

My prayer of gratitude was delayed... But now I pray in gratitude for all things wonderful and plenty in my life. May God bless your days, and nights with love.
