The guest house

"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 them all!  

Even if they’re 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." -Rumi
