“I have been finding treasures in places
I did not want to search.
I have been hearing wisdom from tongues
I did not want to listen.
I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look.
And I have learned so much from journeys
I did not want to take.
Forgive me, O Gracious One;
for I have been closing my ears and eyes for too long.
I have learned that miracles are only called miracles
because they are often witnessed by only those who
can see through all of life's illusions.
I am ready to see what really exists on the other side,
what exists behind the blinds,
and taste all the ugly fruit
instead of all that looks right, plump and ripe.”
