People, Places, Things, and Ideas


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
empbty of it's furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight. -Rumi
