This a meditation based on a poem from Rumi. It invites us to explore what it means to be human, and how all the good and bad experiences allow us to live a full, vibrant life. Take this time to be grateful for everything that has happened, and call on the wisdom to see each experience as an "instruction" on how to become better versions of ourselves. 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 honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. Please note: This track was recorded live and may contain background noises.
