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

Hi bluedreamer,
nice to know , that I am not the only entertainer. I like this poem, because it reminds me, that the Nagual is the real host. All the tonal-guest , are often claiming , they are the real householder and celebrate endless parties... till the real househoulder comes back home.
