Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai

EP 119 Understanding Your Darkness as Much as the Light


Listen Later

Choosing to better understand ourselves - from the monks, from poets, artists and friends...
Understanding Your Darkness as Much as the Light - is what will set you apart from everyone else. It will keep you sharp, a futurist and ahead of the curve.

A poem by Rumi 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. - RUMI
