Our minds are creative, imaginative, and an endless source of stories. Especially when it comes to narrating the whys.  My mind can spend endless hours constructing a story about why something that does not make sense occurred.  It designed narratives of motivation, suspicion, potential reasons to hope or to despair, and I sometimes think I could be a screenwriter with the story behind the why.  It is a gift to have such creativity and an extension of who we are at our core.  However, by the time my mind is done constructing the story behind why there is little evidence to back it up.  The fearful element wants to know all the details so it can solve the puzzle.  With the mind’s inclination to survive any possible dangers it conjures up multiple potentials of dangers to watch out for going forward.  Sometimes we don’t know why things happen. Sometimes there isn’t a reason.  Sometimes things happen.  As the author and spiritual teacher, Michael Singer wrote, “you can think about it all you want, but life is still going to keep on happening.”  There will always be a why we cannot solve.  The evidence we are truly seeking is the knowledge we are okay.  We think if we can solve the mysterious why we can guard ourselves against the bad.  Yet is it the mind or our heart that is telling us the story of something being bad or good?  When we drop into our hearts we reconnect with the inner knowing of who we are at our core and how we cannot be undone by life’s happening.  It is the only evidence we need to take one more breath.
