Letters to SAM

I read " My Letter to SAM" by Daniel Gottlieb. Although it was a push from Indu to read this book, i am glad she did that. It is a wonderful account of 12 Letters written by the Grandfather to his grandson. It throws light on lots of worldy virtues and deals with Struggle which happens Inside us. It is a good read and a must read for all parents and to be parents. I also quite liked the Poem at the end of the Book. Have represented the same.

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 are a crowd of Sorrows,Who violently sweep your houseEmpty of its furniture,

Still treat each guest honourably.

He may be clearing you out for some new delight,The Dark Thought, the sham, the malice,

Meet them in the door laughing,And invite them in,

Be grateful for whoever comes,Because each has been sent

As a guide from beyond

- Rumi
