trying to deal with emotions- Rumi's take

Posted by Jakeman on June 20, 2006, at 0:55:32

The guest house~
This human being is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness.
some momentary awareness comes as
an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows
who sweep you 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.
