The Guest House
Book • 2024
The poem, translated by Coleman Barks among others, compares being human to a guest house where various emotions and thoughts arrive each day.
It advises the reader to welcome and entertain all these visitors, even if they are sorrows or negative emotions, as they may be clearing the way for new delights and serve as guides from beyond.
The poem is a reflection on the transient nature of emotions and the importance of openness and acceptance in spiritual growth.
