The Guest House
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 are 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 whatever comes. because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

I think the admin of this site is actually working hard in favor of his web page, because here every data is quality based stuff.
Wow! Well thank you.

What a powerful quote! A post I did with photos of Rumi’s tomb is one of the most popular on my blog.
People love Rumi. I don’t doubt that!
