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're 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 though, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.
Be grateful of whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
