To blame is to err and to err is to blame. To see the self as the source of any affliction is blame and a misguided understanding of self. All results of blaming the self always end in more blame. In addition, to take credit where none is due, is thievery. No one wins.
Times too numerable to count pepper my past of taking the blame for a deed not mine. During those times, I could only swim in confusion asking why me instead of how is this is serving me. Difficulties always reap abundance, and in the past, I have often missed the harvest for lamenting the loss in the field. Now, I can see those results in my life of taking the blame as rich soil to grow new ideas of worth and value - to educate and rewrite history from a new perspective.
I no longer see cause and effect as particulars or even relevant to existence - infinite in number they are. The happenings of the day simply drop by without fanfare or justification and leave with just as much.
Today's rain, heavy, unrelenting, needed. The nut and seed "bread" bakes in the shop outside - a treck out in the downpour to retrieve. An I-don't-nap nap may find its way in the mix. Whatever. Blame and sin - what a waste of time. Relief to have come to understand their roles before I died. Maybe that will be the extent of my knowledge. What of it? Life goes on.
