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.
Kuwa binadamu ni kama nyumba ya wageni. Kila Kukicha mgeni mpya anawasili. Furaha, Huzuni, Ubaya, kufunguka akili kwa ghafla zinakuja kama mgeni asiyetarajiwa. Wakaribishe na uwahudumie wote. Hata kama ni umati wa Huzuni, wanao kusafishia thamani zako nyumbani, lakini mhudumie kila mgeni kwa heshima zote. Anaweza kua ana kusafisha kwa furaha inayokuja. Mawazo ya giza, aibu, ouvu, kutana nao mlangoni huku unacheka, na uwakaribishe ndani.
