Contemplation - Keller (A Theory)

Quiet now Becoming WHOLE All the colors All the music All the dance Gathered there Somewhere All that ever did All that ever will Exist All This now In the quiet Becoming WHOLE Mind and no mind Mind screen bare then They come to you........... Revelations............ Questions........ Questions of AWARENESS In the perfect WHOLE Is detachment Realization that There are levels Levels of AWARENESS To the dead eyes and ears Of Hellen Keller Was there color?..... Was there music? If so............How?.......... Sent from her hands?........ No! When becoming WHOLE All the colors All the music Are gathered there Keller was AWARE!

Excellent writing daver. It's as if you've gone into her mind - thought who's to say what anyone elses consciousness is like. Always thought provoking, Mr Austin!

A prime example of how spoiled all of us are. Even with her blindness, she found a beautiful world. Maybe we all should look at the world through her eyes. This was an outstanding obdervation. God Bless. Vince

I love this probe behind the curtain of the mute ... the patterning style suit so well the questions probing the philosophy. Bravo

I love this....making sense of the senses! The miracle that was Helen Keller, something that was so astounding, and beyond our understanding...but truly amazing, and enhances my belief that we have not explored the depth of our possibilites. Love this subject matter!, Love, Carrie

This is one amazingly written theory. How I feel what you are expressing. An unusual subject matter, and yet, how beautiful of you to go there. I can only imagine, the miracle of her. As I go off on a tangent here and think of people who have sight, and never really see. People who can hear, but never really 'hear'. Nice work Daver, I love reading you. Love, Shar

Surely Helen Keller lived on a very "high level of awareness," Daver. She brought new meaning to our concept of sight and sound. We are certainly on the same wavelength in our beliefs about the superconsciousness. For a blind woman to "touch" our hearts the way Keller did, she must have gone beyond our senses as you so aptly describe. Awesome write again, Daver! Love, Carolyn
