For so many years, not one of my prayers was ever answered, not even the most meager prayers. Over the past few years, I see the big picture blossoming and I've come to this place where I'm blessed with less. How little can a person survive on, even thrive on? Perhaps I'm the Marie Kondo of Kempon Hokke; "Get rid of that which does not bring you joy." I get to help people in so many little ways & I've learned to see ALL a person can give, to appreciate every little blessing. A few days after a move to a tiny public housing apartment, I stepped on a tack, but it WAS a blessing! I had needed one to hang my Gohonzon. Such has been my entire life, & it now fills me with joy 💗🙏
