HOST    
morning
 

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 it’s furniture,
still, treat each guest honorable.
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

good morning sleepy head


i want to invite you somewhere but i first of want to clarify that NO i am not crazy. however i am a bit blissed out and this idea did bubble up into my consciousness when i was a bit tipsy from the ecstasy of watching the sunrise this a.m. and to be sure my kundalini and life force energy is running high due to all the new tree leaves, the fragrance of flowers in the air, and the exuberant songs of birds.......

Please awake to the day with some meditation and/or an outside movement class (yoga or qigong)
