Daily Zen - Thursday, August 18

This being human is a guest house. Every morning is 
a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some 
momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. 
Welcome and entertain them all, treat each guest honorably.

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.
