Since about 2008, my life has been easy. I was recovering from the grief of the loss of my mother, but she was in a better place. Since 2007, I had been to the Northeast for a number of family events: a funeral, 3 weddings and a graduation. I made an independent trip just to travel around and visit family and friends. I made trip to Seattle, Washington that was very fine. I made a trip to Northeast New Mexico that was so relaxing that the sense of well being lasted with me for months. I made a trip to Phoenix to visit my brother and his extended family.
Life was good.
I have had some health issues since then, but mostly hip and leg pain, commonly referred to as sciatica. And, finally after toughing through it for several years, I sought treatment and am getting medication and physical therapy for it.
Since late August, I have had a series of events that have caused me distress. I have chronicled these, and will not again in this article, do so.
But it occurs to me that this is not the first time in my life that my Karma just "went away." I will not revisit the times this has happened in past, except to say that it usually surrounded a life changing event. A career change, a divorce, a death, a move. The thing is, I am not sure what life changing event I am experiencing right now.
I am a firm believer laws of physics: a body at rest tends to stay at rest; a body in motion tends to stay in motion. I think this applies to human life. When we reach a plateau or level of stasis, our lives go on in a pretty even keeled sort of way.
Upset the applecart, and all heck breaks loose, and one change after another occurs. The problem is, I am not sure what I did to upset the applecart. Was it a sprained ankle? That seems so ridiculously minor that it would have this impact on my life.
I think that my time was due. And even a small thing upset the applecart of life enough to cause my series of distressing events.
