Just What I Needed

My.Parents.Rock.
I sent them an email looking for support and though it makes me miss them even more they always know just what to say,  


Rumi, the Sufi poet, wrote about opening yourself to experience in a piece called 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 its furniture.  Still, treat each guest honorably. 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 as been sent, As a guide from beyond." So, my dear, relax, enjoy your travails and joys. You are having an experience which will allow you growth.
