Most People Guard Against Going Into The

What Is The Heart? A Flower Opening.

This Being Human Is A Guest House. Every Morning Is A New Arrival. A Joy, A Depression, A Meanness, Some Momentary Awareness Comes As An Unexpected Visitor...welcome And Entertain Them All. Treat Each Guest Honorably. 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.

Put Your Thoughts To Sleep, Do Not Let Them Cast A Shadow Over The Moon Of Your Heart. Let Go Of Thinking.

What I Most Want Is To Spring Out Of This Personality, Then To Sit Apart From That Leaping. I've Lived Too Long Where I Can Be Reached.

But Learn This Custom From The Flower: Silence Your Tongue.
