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, 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.
