[Thespiritexpress] Rumi Poem

[balldinger]

Thank you for sharing this with us, Carlie! And thank you for sharing some wise words with me after meditation last Friday about embracing that which hurts in order to ease the pain. Good medicine!I've been drunk on Rumi before and I now see the wavering soul light of spiritual fumes in the hallways of eternal truths, and somehow the doors have been left wide open...Blessings, ~ EdSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

    Friday during Shaking yoga and meditation I was pointed to Rumi's
      The Guest House by Toni & Lee.  I wanted to share it with
      you.  For me it allows me to accept all that comes into my life
      with love.  Hope you enjoy.  Carlie
    
    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 whatever
      comes.
      because each has been sent
      as a guide from beyond.
