Thank you for checking this out. I respond well to enthusiasm. Please give me a sign that this connected with you in some way.
This is a personal piece responding to a complex situation in my life: emotional tumult; fury, angst, sadness, futility, loneliness, a deep caring are all here. Culminating in a feeling of “mono no aware.” A call of the wild into the wild, into the void, in the hopes that the words of this poem might come back during difficult moments.
Rumi
The Guest House
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 honourably.
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.
