“I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I'm doing . . . |
It is not our purpose to become each other;
it is to recognize each other;
to learn to see the other and honor
him for what he is:
each the other's opposite and complement.
I am happy even before I have a reason.
This being human is a guesthouse.
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, 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.
-Rumi
The world we have created is a product of our thinking;
it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
