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 attend 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 guest has been sent
As a guide from beyond.
