"Life contains the capacity, like flames that reach toward heaven, to transform suffering and pain into the energy needed for value creation, into light that illuminates darkness. Like the wind traversing the vast spaces unhindered, life has the power to uproot and overturn all obstacles and difficulties. Like clear flowing water, it can wash away all stains and impurities. And, finally, life, like the great earth that sustains vegetation, impartially protects all people with its compassionate, nurturing force."
Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhism Day by Day, page 64

So, I was able, through this new chiropractic work I'm getting, to start walking on my treadmill again. And I'm eating more healthy. This affects me immediately. It was my Valentine's Day gift to myself.
Last night I booked a much needed trip to the sun - because the doors opened in a really cool way!
AND, my prayer right now, from the depths of my heart, is openness...essentially non-attachment. A kind of surrender. As I chant my hour in the morning, with my phone in the other room, I have this PowerPrayer in my heart - not all my challenges - not all the things I have to solve:
PowerPrayer for Happiness to FLOW !
By Jamie Lee Silver Chantforhappiness.com
"Right now I draw all the wisdom of life through me. Gohonzon, my life,
we already know my deepest desires!
Right now I draw forth the wisdom I already possess.
I draw forth that wisdom for my own happiness...
because I know MY happiness
makes a difference in the world.
This Daimoku IS the cause,
And leads me to make the right causes
And bring forth the wisdom
and ACT on that wisdom
so my life can flow with kosen rufu power for all!
All the right doors open now,
and I joyfully step through them! "
Jamie I just wanted to thank you for the time you put into these blogs for all of us. Each one of them inspires me and I look forward to them! I am grateful for you! Thank you Jamir!
