Why me?

As a newbie to Science of Mind I dove into philosophies of we are all One and nothing and no one is against me, but rather my experiences are all for me to learn, live and love the God qualities available from the Infinite Source of All that Is.

Today, I am asking "why me?". It is hard to be positive and open when things go wrong. So it is.

When you get blind-sided and suddenly realize that you've gotten yourself into a place that isn't where you want to be, how you get yourself out and how you treat yourself after is the most significant struggle; at least it is for me.

I mean, once I realize I'm in a challenging spot, there is the matter-of-fact set of things I need to do to be in a safe place. Leave, call a friend, call the cops...

Then it seems, my biggest lesson to learn shows up. Don't blame myself, don't beat myself up, don't judge or run to my old story.

Not easy to do.

I just read this Rumi poem that I can't remember exactly how it goes but it said something like love is treacherous and violent. It rips through you like a saw through new wood. Searing the membranes, tearing flesh and leaving bits of the whole body behind. That last part, actually is mine.

And maybe, as I write this blog and ask the question, "why me?" it becomes clear. Because I Am.
