The sun is big enough!

The more we share our light, the more the clouds are dispelled and we see how limitless the light is. I was chanting to enlarge the sun, but just realized it is way big enough. Just sometimes it's on the other side of the mountain. Keep climbing.

We are the Choir

We can transform our sadness into compassionate joy. We are so strong and are changing our destinies. We are all working together to build a web of strength and joy and call all the protective forces of the universe into play. Together we can continue to overcome and live into our full potential.
We can sing the song of the universe.
NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO

nyo ze

Nyo ze means "as it is". Awakening to my enlightenment is true seeing-- nyo ze light and nyo ze dark, seeing the demons as well as the protective forces.
This is frightening at times. We have to learn our strength and resources and "heart" are enough. We become aware of the balance, and with the causes we make and the song of our hearts we call ourselves into alignment with All, and All into alignment with us.
When we see what is, all of it, clearly, we see not only the obstacles and threatening conditions in ourselves and around us, but also our available resources, in our environment and in our very being, and we cast off our fear.
See what is! Awaken!

It is not only about what I want, and being strong and persistent enough to change things. It is also about cause and effect, and having the inner strength and ichinen (determination) to live in my life as I created it, in my circumstances here and now. Not just to be ok with it, but SHINING.

Dancing and Weaving

When I started chanting I felt like I was shouting into the dark, like a witch or shaman dancing around the bonfire flames, singing to hold back the dark powers outside the circle of light.
Now, 40 minutes later, I feel the protective web I have woven around myself, and my lightness of being returns. I will keep weaving, and the filaments are so strong. Without separating from my world, I can walk strong, and know the protective forces (shoten zenjin) are so very real!
