Where There Is Ruin, There Is Hope

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.

Flattery's Fire Is Hidden. Its Sweet Taste Is Apparent, But The Smoke Is Bound To Come Out At Last.

Walk Patiently Through This Troubled World, And You Will Find Great Treasure. Even Though Your House May Be Small, Look Within It!

When The Ocean Surges, Don't Let Me Just Hear It. Let It Splash Inside My Chest!

Till Man Destroys "self" He Is No True Friend Of God.
