KARMA

Before actions go around to come around,
all deeds ascend up that lessons descend down.
Such is the universe’s tried, true policy
as karma has deployed for all of history.

Whether conduct is good, bad or otherwise,
all human behavior meets heaven’s keen eyes.
If we say it, pray it, think it or do it,
it goes up, then down once karma reviews it.

Oh yes, I so agree and I have noticed the higher you become vibrationally the faster it seems to occur. Nice, very nice CayCay!
