I love my insightful friends who’ve weathered a gremlin or two. You know who you are.<\/p>\n
One of them, Tom, sent me this poem from Rumi:<\/p>\n
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
\nsome momentary awareness comes
\nAs an unexpected visitor.<\/p>\n
Welcome and entertain them all!
\nEven if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
\nwho violently sweep your house
\nempty of its furniture,
\nstill treat each guest honorably.
\nHe may be clearing you out
\nfor some new delight.<\/p>\n
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
\nmeet them at the door laughing,
\nand invite them in.<\/p>\n
Be grateful for whoever comes,
\nbecause each has been sent
\nas a guide from beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
