On Acceptance

The Guest House

"This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of 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."

Jalal ad-Din Rumi
