Hi there Vivi, I love this post! It sounds like you're chanting with the Sokka-Gakkai folks, right? I practice with a zen community, but I have some friends in SGI One of the benefits of devotional practice, I find, is that it helps reverse the 'flow' of my 'love intention'... basically by focussing on loving myself and God, I stop fixating on getting someone else to love me, and instead focus on lov ing God/myself/the world... there's an infinite reservoir of love within me, and by cultivating my connection with it I can learn to feel the abundance of love... by contrast, when I'm caught up in thinking about my PoA, I might say to myself that 'I love her so much', but what's really going on is that I want her to love me so much... Hope you're having a nice friday hugs, Lucas

I had a moment today where I was overcome with tears at the love the universe has for me, and really for everyone. We are all being taught valuable lessons about what we want by consistently being shown what we don't want. We are always being cared for and loved at all times, even if we can't see it. There are no coincidences, everyone and everything comes into your life to teach you something. Synchronicity happens all the time. We don't always see it, but we are being cared for. Opportunity to grow is everywhere. We just must be open to receive it. I felt my higher power come over me today, which brought me to tears. How lucky we are to be so cared for. That we are really not alone. I will be doing a lying down meditation in a few minutes to feel a bit more balanced after feeling this intense energy come into my body. Wow is all I can say.
