“Instant karma’s gonna get you. Gonna look you right in the face. Better get yourself together, darlin’…Join the human race.”

For several reasons, I admit to feeling far less than charitable right now (though the reality is that I remain far more resilient than some may believe). I will NOT wish the worst on anyone but when even my local priest offers the old aphorism “what goes around, comes around” it's fair to be a little concerned as to how the “comes around” will be visited upon those steering the "goes around" part of the equation.

Karma is seldom as “instant” as we’d probably like it to be - but I'll leave it to others to be the "agent" of its arrival. Vengeance and vindictiveness have NEVER been part of my make-up and I'm not about to embrace them now. In the meantime, I’ll continue to pray that a “darlin’" or two (re)joins the human race and lets their darker impulses become a thing of the past. Life is way too brief to allow those character traits to drive your existence.

History has proven many times that the pain you inflict upon others has a tendency to rain back onto you and usually to a far greater degree. When it does so, you have to hope you’re not found without an umbrella-ella-ella-ella. (Thanks, Rihanna!)

Hey, Sisyphus – you’d best make sure you’re keeping a steady hand on that boulder. I think it’s got your number…Just sayin’…

Love, Peace, and Soul,
Otto
