"The Guest House"
(Rumi)
This being human is a guest house
everyday a new arrival.
a joy, a depression, a meaness
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
for some new delight.
the dark thought, the shame, the malice
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
be grateful for whatever comes
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
