Zen Pencils Presents… THE GUEST HOUSE by RUMI This being human is a GUEST HOUSE. The Living Soul Guest House Check-In DING DING! Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness… …some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. OCCUPIED 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 HONORABLY. He may be clearing you out… …for some new delight. BANG BANG BANG The dark thought… …the shame… …the malice… …meet them at the door LAUGHING and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes… The Living Soul VACANCY …because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. - Rumi
