humanness..............................

 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!

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.
