Every morning a new arrival;
a joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexcepted visitor.
Welcome and attend them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honourable.
He may bd clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thoughts, the same, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for who ever comes, because each guest has been sent as a guide from beyond. Malal al - Din Rumi.
