While you wait for our Dec Tips, here is one of our favorite poems

This being human is a guesthouse,

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 are a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of it’s 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 whatever comes

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond
