"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'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.

─Rumi

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.

─T. S. Eliot

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

─Mother Teresa

To control attention means to control experience, and therefore the quality of life.

─Csikszentmihalyi

The greed for the fruit misses
the flower.

─Rabindranath Tagore

Peace is every step.
The shining red sun is my heart.
Each flower smiles with me.
How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows.
Peace is every step.
It turns the endless path to joy.

─Thich Nhat Hanh
