The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning is 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 are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
fror some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Jellaludin Rumi,
