What Goes Around Comes Around...

Closer than your shadow
it lives within your soul
from one life to the next
like an ancient sacred scroll

It follows countless patterns
thoughts inside your mind
the sum of all your actions
embedded and aligned

Acts of kindness, good intentions
add lightness to your soul
brightening your spirit
helps make you feel whole

While judging others harshly
will only hold you back
karma lets you know
it's all how you react

Drifting through the universe
the thoughts that you create
effecting those around you
those decisions that you make

Perceiving what is good
understanding what's at stake
can shake your very core
and all that you forsake

Nurturing your nature
as it blossoms from a seed
relying on your essence
is all you really need

Much like destiny
and all those twists of fate
how we treat each other
still holds so much weight

It all seems pretty simple
when we read it in a book
but putting it in action
is worth another look

Understanding karma --
a penny for a pound..,
we always should remember
what goes around comes around.

I have learnt lots in Bali about the value believing in Karma, especially Instant Karma . It hits you right away big time

Right smack in the face!
We should chat about this subject sometime...
