of a sword, this version of Justice holds a two-headed axe; rather than
scales, he holds a shield painted with the image of a world tree.
Nature has a way of balancing things out. If drought causes many
grasses that supply the grain for mice dry up, the mouse population will
begin to decline. Animals that eat mice - snakes, owls, hawks - will
see a decline also. When rain comes again, allowing the grass to grow
abundantly, the animal populations will increase. Since I am a part of
nature, my actions impact not only myself, but those around me.
Inwardly or outwardly I can create imbalances, and it's my
responsibility to recognize and be accountable for these. Or I can sit
back and let nature can take its course and readjust things (which often
isn't the most pleasant of experiences).

Don't
get me wrong - I do think hope is a good thing. But I believe that
sometimes I can have specific expectations woven into that hope, and
those are the buggers that can cause me heartache. My hope is that
things will change to something different (and this I believe because it
is a natural law). Life might not change on my timetable or the way I
would write out the script, but change it will.
