Jeffersonian Karma

And the Various Journeys Continue . . .: Two Quotes . . ..  I am this morning exploring the introduction of Thomas Brinson that Melanie McBride sowed over the blogosphere, like faerie dust twinkling in the morning dew.

I am moved by and grateful for this Jeffersonian passage:

"Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever."

After eight full days of serenity and rich conversation on Kaua'i recently, it struck me that life is a self-correcting process.  It doesn't need me to fix it.  Life wins, and human excesses are self-remedying as well as self-fulfilling.  Justice is at hand, always.  Having relieved myself of a world that can't do it without me, I am left with the unending question: Who am I and what is my life for? Right now.
