*The Guest House*

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 *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 are a crowd of sorrows,* *who violently sweep your house* *empty of its furniture,* *still, treat each guest honourably.* *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 whatever comes.* *Because each has been sent* *as a guide from beyond.* *Jelaluddin Rumi.*
