i have to say that being in san francisco is pretty nice. today is beautiful. sunny. 50s. everything feels bright after a few dreary days of rain.
i'm still looking for jobs and apartments. there are a few potentials. but we'll see. i'm ready for something to happen. ready to not be such a moocher off friends and family. ready to be with kitty again. (it's been snowing constantly in vail and my parents say kitty is in heaven burying her face and her tennis balls in the snow. i hope she likes the pacific as much as she likes the snow.)
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.
