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.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.
