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.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-- Jelaluddin Rumi,

大兒子分享了他朋友分享與他的一首小詩 相當的正面 非常的勵志
人生裡 意外的訪客何其多 要學會以平常心面對淬勵我們人生的種種
一時的不順遂難免 面對高牆 何不選擇繞過去 不必然硬要撞得頭破血流
時間會弭平一切 來日回首 將發現在人生道途上 那點挫折是何其微不足道
Be grateful for whatever comes是一種達觀 願我兒是有智慧的無懼勇者
