Blame Game

Posted on Sep 14th, 2009 by martha : wildlygentle martha
Blame-him

"Blame" means it's your "fault." 

A "fault" is something wrong with you.

This bad thing has occurred because of something wrong with you.

How does assigning blame help to amend the problem?

A thought I heard today (or was it yesterday), maybe from Brian Johnson's philosopher's notes:

People need to stop the blame game.  Why put all that energy into blaming someone?  --Even if that person is yourself.

Little things

Posted on Sep 27th, 2009 by martha : wildlygentle martha
Insignificant
I am
grateful to breath
each inhale so good
exhale, so good.
I can see, too!
Oh what I see! 
Everything! Everything!
SUCH is LIVING!
Oh my!
I can feel
my mouth, the silava
my teeth
and they don't hurt,
Ah! How lucky.
I wish everyone's teeth felt so good
I smile a lot
I feel smiles.
I have two arms, I type words!
Grateful am I.
Planning my day,
Working for ways
That we all, all
could feel so good, so grateful
Take my hand
I know it will be warm.
