Do You Believe in ‘a life for a life’?

Do you believe in ‘a life for a life’?

Do you believe in the law of duality, the law of balance?

Do you believe in physics? Do you believe in Newton’s third law? Will what goes up, always come down?

As I watch the exodus unfold at Cape York, the destruction of all life, I ask myself: “A life for a life?”

As I picture in my head, as clear as crystal, the two cold corpses of innocent angels; two lives taken for two lives saved.

Should I be thanking God?

I wrote this on the plane, as I headed back home for an unplanned emergency, where two of my animals had died under someone’s care while I was on holiday.

The skies were dark and the turbulence was unlike anything I had experienced. I genuinely felt that I was going to die in a plane crash. But as I sat there, waiting for death, I wondered if this was my way of receiving justice for the two deaths I felt responsible for.

The irony here is that we had initially planned to go to Cape York, which got ravaged by Cyclone Jasper that same week with morbidities still rising. We changed our holiday plans as we kept getting diverted away from the Cape York trip.

We listened to the spirits, and they saved us. We were meant to be in Cape York, stranded and surrounded by torrential rainfall and flooding that was bound to take us.

Instead, our lives were saved; so does that mean two others had to die to take our place?
