THE GUEST HOUSE
There is work ahead! Face your deficiencies
consciously and don’t beat yourself up about them.
“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 a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, [...]

Good and evil have no self nature;
Holy and unholy are empty names;
In front of the door is the land of stillness and quiet;
Spring comes, grass grows by itself.
