“He ido encontrando tesoros en lugares que no queria buscar. He estado escuchando sabiduría de bocas que no quería escuchar. He ido encontrando belleza donde no queria mirar. Y he aprendido mucho de los viajes que no queria tomar. Perdóname; porque he estado cerrando los oídos y los ojos durante demasiado tiempo he aprendido que los milagros sólo son llamados milagros porque a menudo son vistos por sólo aquellos que pueden ver a través de las ilusiones de la vida. Estoy dispuesto a ver lo que realmente existe en el otro lado, lo que existe detrás de las persianas, y probar la fruta fea en lugar de la que parece bonita, y madura.”
