Dear 11EKu,

As a response to this PSE unit on building trusting relationships, I think we should look at this poem by Rumi called The Guest House. This poem was first given to me during this week’s IFP session. To me, this reminds us to face our conflicts rather than avoid them, to treat them like a House Guest. From my personal interpretation, some leading questions for discussion might be:

What is your interpretation of this poem?

To what extent do you agree with my opinion on it?

Can you relate to this poem, if so which aspects and to what extent.
