// Poem by Jalaluddin Rumi; Translated by Coleman Barks

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes

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

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
