A reading I incorporated into my class this morning I wanted to share...
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 it's furniture-
Still treat each guest honorably~
She 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 whom ever comes~
Because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Light & Love
love this! I've been leading a meditation class on wed. nights and I may use this:)
