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 attend 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...

Rumi

I love words. Especially when really juicy ones are put right next to each other in a way that makes all of the snapses in your brain fire with delight and glee! I was so happy to read the article on Zaadz, especially when I read about Siona van Kijk, and her role as Synchronicity Coordinator ~ I completely relate the her statement of "I must confess readily that I'd never have been able to predict the trajectory that got me to wheare I am today."

I've just come off an 8-month project at work and am thrilled to have 40-or-so-hour work weeks in my future for the balance of the summer ~ I've been working hard, and now I want to "recreate" and "re-create" even harder. I hope to plant a significant number of seeds.

This will be my first "Social Networking" adventure ~ I am excited to experience and explore this community.
