Inspiring the Truth within us...

I'm one of those who strongly feel that inspiration is the source of everything. If I do what I do it is because my soul is inspired to take that step...

One poem that struck my chords right away was 'The Guest House' by Rumi. It is totally INSPIRING!!



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.

-Love and Light
