THE GUEST HOUSE BY RUMI

Learning to accept ,  no , EMBRACE  all emotions , all events , all happenings in our lives.  Not just the good ones.   Perfection is right before us.   
Observing , learning , experiencing .... taking it all in ....  as we journey through life.   
​

The Guest House – Rumi
 
“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”.
 
Rumi
