We are at play with our circumstances to see what can happen. The challenge is to live in ways that make things better for all people. It is tricky because we get very little cooperation, and a lot of opposition. The challenge remains in place in spite of the odds. It cannot matter to us what our chances are. In the circumstances impinging upon each situation as it arises, how can we respond to what is happening at the right time, in the right place, in the right way? Regardless of the outcome, what needs to be done here/now? Answering the question correctly, no matter what, creates karma. We do not know what the outcome beyond the outcome will be. Keep showing up. Keep answering the question. Surprise yourself.

Yes, our actions, or inaction, create Karma. I totally believe this. I also believe the same can predispose our soul for an afterlife we have created by our choices and beliefs. This aligns with my brand of Christianity…. we are what we are, always happy to receive Mercy!

Grace and mercy are two transcendent principles within the foundation of life. Every living thing participates, knowingly or unknowingly, in the regular experience of grace and mercy. They are undeniable facts of life. We live by virtue of grace and mercy, not by cunning and conniving. Oh, grace and mercy also go by their secular name, “Good luck”!
