Are you familiar with Rumi's poem, The Guest House? This poem is so reminiscent of his. I work in a psychiatric hospital with patients who experience depression and anxiety. I look forward today to having us read your poem and discuss what "ghosts" live in our haunted house, and how we can befriend them. Thank you, Andrew!

Ah, yes. Thank you for this. Our fears depend on our running away in the same way the bully’s effectiveness is augmented by our agreement to play the game. We need to peek thru the veil again and again on our way to freedom.
