Blind Guatemalan stuns Brit actress with poem

According to several gossip articles, British actress Siena Miller was taken aback by a poem handed to her by a blind Guatemalan man. Though none of the articles explain what she was doing in Guatemala at the time, they all affirm that she was awestruck when the man handed her a copy of the classic poem “Desiderata.” So much so that some of the poem’s lines have been allegedly engraved on an amulet the actress now wears.

The poem is eight stanzas long and includes the following lines:

“You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
