Karma and Hardship

Living

How many of you are always searching for that enlightenment, that unearthly zen, that heavenly plane of existence?

Life is a hellish brew, at odd times you’ll find a small piece of heaven somewhere, floating about. What you need to do, if you ever feel a need to escape everything, is not to deny the melting pot of misery, but rather to embrace the hardships, to accept it, not deny it. Why fight the inevitable, why resist it? These lessons of life, painful or sorrowful at times, are needed to make us what we are. Not survivors of a hardships, but as students.

I don’t search for tranquillity. Its here with me, in my soul, deeply entrenched, always shifting its energies and essence in phases. In time. And out of time. I accept the madness and joys of Karma. I do so with ease. I learn from it, I nurture it and I seek its tight embrace.

I am Karma.
