Today i was reminded that morning and evening when i chant in front of my gohonzon i am participating in a party of the buddhist "gods". What a celebration! So much life force! So much joy! All aspects of life celebrating together.
Two participants i have been getting to know, in a manner of speaking, are Wisdom King Craving Filled and Wisdom King Immovable. One is action, with single minded focus aiming my arrow at the heart of my desire. The other is stillness, remaining solidly grounded right in the fire of my current circumstance, using it for my awakening.
2018 is the year of glory (brilliant achievement) in the soka gakkai. For me, it begins today.
Party on!!

Today's topic
Today's dialogue topic is fear.
Wondering why i fear the outcomes of my taking action more than the certainty of the outcome if i take no action. Pondering whether i prefer calling myself lazy or a procrastinator to admitting i take no action out of fear of being seen, or feeling like a failure, or even fear of wild success.
So, today, again, i am trying to choose boldness rather than burrowing into the nest i perceive as safe that feels like home.
Onward!
There is a job out there that is mine. Where i will find enjoyment , earn money, and have time for family and for faith activities.
Without action i cannot find it.
