I have long believed in karma. [View all]

If we permit our thoughts to think of something besides that which troubles us, karma is more free to act in a desirable manner, in my opinion.

For example, if we were to think of a big blue marble and very still mountain lake, we could see what happens when we toss the marble into the middle of the lake. The waves would spread outward until they gently lapped the edges of the lake. The reflections in the lake would shimmer as the waves spread outward from the marble hitting the water. In less than a minute, the lake would return to its quiet and still nature, awaiting the next interruption in its natural state.

Perhaps a seagull would fly over and a crow would caw from the top of a distant pine tree?

Then silence.

Karma is waiting on those that would create dissension and division within our people.
