This being human is a guest house ….. so says Rumi. I first came across the poem, The Guest House , two years ago. It caught me immediately for the understanding of learning through life in every scenario.
Each guest is an emotion or an experience to clean us out or open us for the next. Welcome each guest as a guide from beyond.
Recently I had a brief chat with someone about this poem by Rumi. She thought besides being a teacher for what is to come, the guest house could represent welcoming the different aspects of our own character. Allowing each talent, skill, or thought on self to sit comfortably together until all the pieces of yourself are so much larger than you could ever be in this physical form to contain them. A meditation on harmonious interplay, on growing to accept every part that represents yourself can make you feel as big as this universe. Try it!
