The Guest House
" This being human is a guest
house. Every morning a new arrival:
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some 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 of its furniture, still treat
each guest honorably. He may be
clearing you out for some new
delight. The dark thought, the
shame, the malice, meet them at
the door laughing and invite
them in."
Rumi
