What goes around comes around. We reap what we sow. Violence begets violence but doing good things make things good.In my life, I've done lot's of good and sure enough lot's of good came my way.
I've also did some bad things and have had my fair share of bad happen that I never want to experience again.
For a while, things got completely out of whack! Apparently, I'd used up all the good I've done because they ran out. Bad things took over. Lots of bad things!
Every morning I'd get up and try my best to be helpful to the world ... even if it just meant petting Goddess my dog. Yet ... bad things kept right on happening, piling up on me and days got worse.
I couldn't figure it out and asked God, "Hey! What did I do? This isn't right!"
God never said anything back.
Then ... I don't know if God finally took pity on me or if good Karma finally decides to come back ... things started getting better. A small group of good friends replaced thousands of shitty ones. I began to feel better. Sarah came home. A rich life that crashed and burned leaving me empty was suddenly full again!
It's a whole new world!
It's like being reincarnated or born-again or coming back the dead.
Everything's not perfect but ... it's mostly perfect and I now ask myself, "How in the hell did I do that other stuff for so long? That was crazy! This is fuckin' A!"
Imagine my surprise yesterday as I left lunch with good friends at "Spanky's South Side" only to run smack into two of the really bad Karma people in my life. One had just been through an orchestrated dismissal ... meaning she was fired ... while the other continues to slither his way through other people's misfortunes.
"I left something for Sarah," she said which immediately pissed me off."
"Congratulations on your transition," I reply filling with anger.
The snake tries to make lite of it. They're down and I'm up. It's time for revenge and it's starting to taste sweet when a loving arm comes from nowhere and elopes my neck just as I'm catching fire.
"C'mon Pal," my friend Ryan says in his Savannah Irish brogue, "you ain't got time for bullshit!" and he pulls me away from bad Karma.
Outside, its stopped raining and the sun's peaking through clouds though Ryan still has his arm around my neck. Then he burst out laughing which makes me giggle. Slapping me on the back he strolls away and I look back inside at the bad Karma just sitting there.
What goes around has indeed come around.
It almost sucked me in again but ... there are just too many good things in my life right now.
If you're unfortunate enough to be on the down hill ride of the Karma roller coaster, I want you to get ready.
Keep being kind to yourself as best you can. Hold on to the good friends and let the shallow ones go. Embrace reincarnation and be born again. Fuck the past!
Enjoy the ride back to the top.
Wave when you see me there.
