that she understood this, while many people with the gift of sight, do not, but she was the one with the true sense of vision.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

This is a beautifully crafted post, with the handmade sun print, the sundial image and awesome quote from Helen Keller. I am amazed at the lasting messages that she gave us on so many things, showing that she understood the world, far better than some ‘seeing’ members of the population.

She had the power of optimism when most folks, when faced with her challenges would likely have been pessimistic indeed.

Great quote, and truly it’s the cruel irony that a visionary like Helen Keller with such an optimism and positive spirit was deprived of actual sights and vision, in her real life. I had not read this quote before. Now it is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.
