Rumi

A few years ago, I heard someone quote the ancient poet/mystic Rumi for the first time. Some of the writings are so powerful and truly feel meaningful in today's world.
Here's the first part of Rumi's 'guest house' poem:

"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..."
