"This being human 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 entertain all!
Even if they're 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 whomever comes,
because each has been sentas a guide from beyond."
~ Jalaluddin Rumi
Thanks to David for sending this out to me - a great life philosophy.
