I really don't want a God who is solicitous of my every need,fawning for my attention, eager for nothing in the world so much asthe fulfillment of my self-potential. One of the scourges of ourage is that all of our deities are house-broken and eminentlycompanionable. Far from demanding anything, they ask only how theycan more meaningfully enhance the lives of those they serve."- Belden C. Lane, "The Solace of Fierce Landscapes"

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.
