Helen Keller ~ The Light in my Darkness

This is a reading for contemplation taken from various texts
written by Helen Keller on her mystical and spiritual insights.
Although Helen's story is widely known, it is usually told with
little reference to the deep spirituality that illumined her dark
and silent world. She had profound spiritual and mystical
insights and openly shared with others her joy for the spiritual
reality of life. In Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda describes
Helen as one of those “rare beings on this earth” who by “sheer
intuitional feeling…see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.” Helen
Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author,
disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born
in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing
after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then
communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven,
when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne
Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and
writing. After an education at both specialist and mainstream
schools, Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University
and became the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree.
