Which is kind of interesting to me since I definitley do pay more attention to some of these details of life. For a specific timely example in my life right now I have been talking with a friend recently about Gated communities at apartment complexes. I have historically been bothered by people who "piggy back" through a gate and have purposefully not done so, though lately I have to admit I've let that standard go and have done it on occasion lately. My apartment complex has a definite pattern of having the gates broken more often then they are working properly so it tends to be fairly easy to just drive into the complex one way or another.

The other day the complex had the gates repaired yet again and I have to admit I had the thought, dammit now I have to wait for the gates to open again (as if it wasn't lazy enough that I have a garage opener style doohicky for the gates rather than swiping a card at a sensor). I quickly let this thought path go as I tend to be a very calm and patient person (especially compared to who I used to be... but then isn't that what our lives are about is self improvement?)

But this morning when I left the complex one of the entrance gates (there are 2 entrance gates and one exit) had been knocked completely off and there was glass debris on the ground. What's worse is that judging by some of the damage, it looked like the person was going out the in on top of everything else, which means that the culprit was impatient, drunk, or some kind of combination of those. Especially since you can't get the middle gate to open from the inside under normal circumstances... They must have been trying to rush out a gate that someone had just come in but the sensors weren't aligned to notice their approach from that direction.

There was a time in my life were I would have felt a large amount of guilt because of my errant thoughts the day before of being inconvenienced by the gate especially since I have experienced other moments in my life where my errant thoughts have solidified into reality.

But I'm not holding any attachment to this one. It was someone else's Karma to crash into the gate. My only moment of Karma is that I am not yet as enlightened as I want to be and my mind still runs away with itself from time to time.

Be well
