And this too...

O God, that I may see a little,
That though I seem confident and sure,
I be aware that I also can be wrong,
That I might never be so sure of myself
That all doubt is swept aside.
For I am human and should be prepared
To be brought low.

The Ground We Walk

 Learning to trust the ground...
Walker, there is no path,
you make the path as you walk.
Antonio Machado

When I lose my focus on what really matters, 
I fall.

Isn't balance, in reality, 
the ability to step quite naturally,
(like a little child)
without too much thought 
into everything larger than our fear?

The Clearing Out

The Guest House

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.

From
Essential Rumi
