The karmatastic life is a way of thinking, doing, being. Collective good deeds have the power to clarify the present, shape the future and heal the past.
Someone of note in my community was just laid to rest.
I was delayed by a police-escorted motorcade early in the morning. A handful of towncars sped through; traffic was closed east and west. The escorted vehicles turned onto a dusty, dirty street in a very poor neighborhood.
A few hours later--on a nearby, parallel route I deliberately avoid--I was delayed by police as dozens of cars were directed into a cemetery.
At first I was annoyed; then, I realized the community must be recognizing the contributions of someone special. Someone perhaps karmatastic.
Who was this person? What was his or her contribution to this close-knit community? What did he or she do to create such an outpouring? I don’t yet know but I can say there are some amazing people who have contributed to the history of the community in which I live. People who, by doing good, have created good karma.
The point here is: follow the signs. Was it a coincidence that I was stopped not once but twice for this funeral procession? On a route I seldom take? Watch. Listen. Learn about and celebrate the karmatastic people in your community.
