London, : Actress Sienna Miller was so touched by an old poem "Desiderata" given by a blind man in Guatemala that she got it engraved on an amulet that she carries with her all the time.
Miller admitted that she was initially shocked when the blind man asked her to take the poem saying it was all about her, reports contactmusic.com. But when she read the words she was shocked because she realised he was right.
She said: "He said, 'It's for you...' I was, like, okay, what is this?'
"The poem features the 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 in unfolding as it should'."
London, July 23: Brit star Sienna Miller was shocked at the extent of poverty in India, during her recent visit as an ambassador for Global Cool.
The 25-year-old who is set to do her bit on spreading environmental awareness revealed that she was ‘shell-shocked’ to see the Bandra Kurla slum in Mumbai.
“I’m feeling a bit shell-shocked. It was unbelievable to see poverty on that scale, especially as it was combined with such a sense of togetherness. There were all these children running around, giving us hugs and asking our names,” Timesonline quoted Miller, as saying.
The actress insisted that she felt ‘sick’ sitting in the luxurious Taj Lands End hotel knowing the condition of the people suffering in the slums.
“What’s scary is that the river flooded two years ago and if it floods again the entire slum will be submerged. God forbid, because the water is ridden with disease and filth. Now I’m back here in the hotel with the air-conditioning and the elevators and the room service, I’m feeling completely sick,” she said.
