Karma

I like to think that God believes in Karma.

I don't really have any evidence to base this belief on, just a hope that justice doesn't only happen in the afterlife. Maybe I want to believe it because I'm impatient. I want justice now, so that I can skip to the next phase of my life. I've been angry, I've grieved, and now I just want to be past it...but I have this yearning for the scales to come even again. My favorite readings from Early Brit Lit included "Dream of the Rood"...for those of you who don't know, a rood is the tree that Christ was nailed to. In that story, the image of Christ isn't the kinder, gentler Christ portrayed today. He is a Warrior-Hero, and his quest is to save the world. Justice is his sword. I like that image. Maybe I'm just blood-thirsty.
