Blame
"You hurt me" when you blame me,
like this
do you not see it is your own karma sauntering towards you,
haunting you taking your hand, leading you?  
surfacing of underlying impulse, create conflict, one stumbles,
had you maintained the clarity of mind?
who could hurt
you?  
that anyone could do so, is impossible;
In the full moon reflected in puddled water is the Wonder of you!
sometimes the puddle is murky, and moon does not quite
reflect;
How can another hurt
you? You who have gone beyond the Concept
of
"You", "I" and "other"
