so physically...i have a feeling my white blood cell count is relatively low.
i have a swollen gland in my throat. and a cut on my finger is taking a long time to heal up. and...the hair keeps coming. luckily i had SO much hair before that a normal person couldn't tell. but. it's definitely getting thinner up there.
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 has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
