This human being 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 attend them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty
of its furniture…
The dark thought, the shame, the
malice, meet them at the door
laughing.. be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. Rumi
Everything is a guide
