Do you also want to be his disciples? asked the man.

Then try this: Listen.

Listen to the stories of the one you have walked by

a thousand times in as many days

dripping with pity without breaking your stride.

Open your eyes to the mundane miracle:

Mud, water word;

ingredients that made a world

and some body to see it, and love it

as God intended.

Open your minds to mercy, your hearts to healing.

He shook his head. I have never seen the stars, he said,

but night is coming.

So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”  – John 9:24-27
