"The kaleidoscope of colour which is my life, shows the interesting choices I've made along the way." ~Antie Koekie
I have seen only a few lives like that
the ones that stradle time with tattered wing
the ones that stradle time with tattered wing
piercing through the barbed wire fence
of all we perceive that cannot be
they defy the odds as if miracle's child
reaching out with a unrelenting force
holding a will to thrive instead of survive
within their chest
making us believe in the beauty of adversity's
strength to charge us onward
to the place no one dared tread
proving the human spirit is both
resilient and a vision to behold.
I have always been in awe of the life of Helen Keller. and all that she achieved in her lifetime. She overcame so many obstacles that most of us would have not attempted. She is truly one of my heroes of the 1900's. She gave humanity so much beauty and strength of spirit. Her sparkling life will certainly be shining through out time. For in the end we are not remembered for what we tried to attain in this life, but what we gave of substance to the lives of others, that leaves a lasting mark.
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
