When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray. Your task is not to seek love, but merely seek and find all the barriers in yourself that you have built against Love.
***
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 attend them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honourably. S/he may be clearing you out for some new delight.
~ Rumi
