Then along came

The biggest storm of the winter

Ever noticed how every rain storm usually has a sting in the tail or put another way a last burst of violence

Many winters are the same, a last big storm, a last surge of rain or high spring tide if you live by the sea

Nature's way of reminding us how she controls our weather

Controls much of our life the truth be known

We like to think how sophisticated we are and how we are not weather dependent

For much of the time this might be true, however when nature wants to show us violence then man can do little and his efforts suddenly look rather puny

Interesting that as man has got more pleased with his prowess in many technical fields so nature is now getting more violent

Is there a correlation?

Old beliefs in many cultures state that man is responsible for the weather he experiences

That man literally creates his own weather

Today that is considered nonsense

Nonsense because we do not see the direct correlation?

Or a nonsense because the very idea is hard to accept?

Probably the later

And probably too difficult for us to prove one way or the other for many years to come

Take it one step closer to home though and wonder if your own behavior is responsible for what comes your way in life

Are those accidents really accidents?

Is that bad luck really luck?

Are those coincidences really coincidences?

You are of course entitled to think what you like

The truth though is just that the truth

And while you may think what you want the truth will out in our lives

Yes there is such a thing as truth even in these most politically correct of spinning times

Leaders of all types may lie and spin all they like

Their evil is increasingly easy to see for what it is evil

The truth will out even if it takes some time to do so

In your own personal case this is the same the truth will out

If your life seems so difficult then look at your ideas about the truth of things

Simply stated if your life is a mess then chances are your perceptions are faulty

You are not living in the truth

When you live in the truth life becomes clear

Not easy just clearer

And living a clear life is so much easier than being knocked around all the time by what you might still choose to call bad luck, accident and coincidence

The storms in our life can be understood and better handled once we realize that there is indeed a controlling mechanism that governs our lives

It is called karma

Karma the impersonal law of cause and effect

What goes round comes round in the present vernacular

Move beyond accident, coincidence and bad luck

Work with karma not against her

The storms in our life cannot be totally avoided for they are a necessary part of human experience

They can most surely be better handled once we see the correlation between our behavior and what comes our way

Storms understood are easier to bear

Storms can even be enjoyed once we understand what they are teaching us
