From Coleman Banks, this translation of Rumi – The Guest House:
“This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival…. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
Such strong imagery, such a message. “Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” A reminder that for all the efforts to prove otherwise, there is much I do not, cannot, know. This thought occurs to me today: Which is more important: a) what I do with what I do know, or b) what I do with what I don’t know?
It occurs to me...
