The Guest House

The Guest house
 
Rumi 
 
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 its 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.

제가 이 시, 게스트 하우스를 읽고 적어놓고 어디에서 발췌했는지 못 찾고 있을 때,
@도움이되는자기님께서 알려주셨어요.
