I agree it's all in the present. We feel it, there.
I'll make no projections about what may be, in the future, though, regarding
karma surviving, etc. I just don't know. I have to be an agnostic about that,
because it is honest to be agnostic. To be a believer seems to require that
you have some basis of proof, and I do not. To be a deny-er seems to require
that you have some proof, too, and I don't.
Meanwhile, I go with the present! It seems you do, too. I think there's every
reason to do so. Here's to it,
