“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 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 whoever comes, \ because each has been sent \ as a guide from beyond.” -
Every morning a new arrival.
