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 comesas an unexpected visitor.Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,who violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture,still, treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you outfor 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 sentas a guide from beyond. - RUMI Thank you for listening & I'll see you very soon!Audible.com/Spirited to order the new book!Thank you -- xx Candice Get full access to Candice’s Substack at candicekumai.substack.com/subscribe
