"The Guest House"
By Rumi
This being human is a guest house
Each morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honourably.
They might 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 whoever comes
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.
