THE GUEST HOUSE• This being human is a guest

house.Every morning a new arrival.

• A joy, a depression, a meanness,some momentary awareness comesas an unexpected visitor.

• Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,who violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture,still, treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you outfor 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 sentas a guide from beyond.

• -- Jelaluddin Rumi,    translation by Coleman Barks
