The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness,
every momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty it of furniture,
still, treat each guest honourably.
he may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them all at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Rumi.......13th century
