Dedication

      For my mother, my daughters, and my daughters’ daughters

Epigraph

      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 are 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 whatever comes.

      because each has been sent

      as a guide from beyond.

       —Rumi (translated by Coleman Barks)
