Speaking Words of Wisdom, Let It Be

I haven't examined my beliefs in a very long time. I know I always believed in karma. (I can hear you sighing, "You hippie!")
The official definition of karma is

- The sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.

- Destiny or fate, following as effect from cause.

A few weeks before you were born, I was standing in the teacher's lounge, slowly swaying and patting the bottom of the stack of books I was holding. "Getting ready for another one?" one of my colleagues asked. I hadn't realized I was "smiling and rocking the baby", so to speak. Then he said, "Wow, you must have done some great things in your past lives. You have your beautiful son, another baby on the way, your dream job, your own business with your husband and you are building your own log home!" It didn't dawn on me that life should be any different than this. "Well, isn't that how life is supposed to be? Karma?" I answered.  Now I question Karma because if your previous actions dictate your present, then what explains what happened to you, to us, to this life? And where is the Karma for the evil ones? You did nothing to deserve what happened, in this life or previously, and that I know for sure. Everything else that happened to our family, to our lives are all what I thought of as "get over-ables". This never will be, will it? So I think I'll go with your dad's bumper sticker that said "My Karma Ate Your Dogma" It seems to make as much sense as anything I can come up with on these lonely nights when I am missing you so much I cannot breathe.
I realized when I was talking to Kenton this week about my personal philosophies, many of my beliefs come from Beatle's lyrics. And why not? Genius is genius in any form and the wisdom of their words have always been with me. Let It Be was our high school graduation song in 1970.
These are only a few of my Beatles Philosophies;

Little Darlin, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter,

Little Darlin, it seems like years since it's been here,

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

and I say

It' alright....

Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, life goes on.

My favorite two, side by side;

All you need is love, love is all you need.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns, it calls me on and on across the universe.

Little child, little child, won't you come dance with me?

We all want to change the world, but when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out.

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away..

And for you, my sweet girl,

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive, you were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
