This being human is
a guest house.
Every morning
is a new arrival.
A joy, a depression,
some momentary awareness
comes as an unexpected visitor...
Welcome and entertain them all.
Treat each guest honorably.
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.
Rumi

Reflect the morning,
Untethered,
Untouched by clouds.
Seen across
a quiet space.
Nothing to hold,
nothing to let go.

Relationships
are the point,
not the tool.

Stay hopeful;
you never know what
tomorrow will bring.
Buddha
She sits-
small and still-
the world reflected
in her eyes.
She gazes-
wide open as the sky,
each thought a bird
lifting,
vanishing.

Such a beautiful and profound reminder from Rumi—embracing all emotions and experiences, both light and dark, as teachers that guide us on our journey.
