I was priviledged to hear Jean Houston on a talk she was doing. She had the experience of visiting Hellen Keller. She was a little girl in New York. The children visiting Hellen were ask if they had any questions. ( I remember watching Patty Duke and Anne Bankroff depict her life and how Hellen was born without hearing or eyesite. Anne continued to work with her to learn signing for communication.)
Jean spoke of her experience hearing a women who had never heared a human voice before use the vibration of words to learn to speak. She was the one chosen to speak to Hellen. Hellen used her fingers to interpet the words while her other hand read her expression and face. She was ask what her life was like? She answered, "I live each day as if it were my last. Loving and relationships are reflections of my dreams. My showers are a constant cleansing. I pray let me be a blessing for the day, and for the community. I pray for others in need. Life and all its moments is so full of Glory and I live that Glory.
I hope you all had a glory filled day like I did. Lilly
