The Invitation, a poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
“The Guest House,” by Jalaluddin Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes

Vibrating the body into motion.
In the flash of knowing,
When intelligence arises,
Attend to this rising,
As the illumination of the Self.

“invitation to intimacy, but depth is a complete choice.”
Priya Parker • The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters
At any moment throughout the day, if you find yourself driven by wanting, the question, what does my heart really long for? will help you reconnect to the purity of spiritual yearning. By pausing and asking yourself at any moment, “What really matters? What do I most care about?” you awaken your naturally caring heart.
