He has been finding treasures in places he did not want to search. He has been hearing wisdom from tongues he did not want to listen to. He has been finding beauty where he did not want to look. And he has learned so much from journeys he did not want to take. Forgive him, please. If you have it in your heart; for he has been closing his ears and eyes for too long. He has learned that miracles are only called miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through all of life's illusions. He is ready now, though. 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.
