I agree, this is a beautiful, and difficult, notion. My daughter, who provided the photograph, used the line "Welcome and entertain them all" as inspiration for the photo. But think, if we could "meet them at the door laughing" (or at least accept them as a guide from beyond) how much happier life would be. Thank you for your comment.

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." This is my favorite part of the poem... so beautifully said, yet so hard to accomplish. “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.”

This is my favorite part of the poem… so beautifully said, yet so hard to accomplish.
