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!

Corinne Curcio May 14, 2009 at 10:10 AM 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!

Vince Suzadail Jr. May 12, 2009 at 3:28 AM 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

David Smalling May 7, 2009 at 9:17 AM I love this probe behind the curtain of the mute ... the patterning style suit so well the questions probing the philosophy. Bravo

Carrie Richards May 6, 2009 at 3:14 PM 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

Sharon Winter May 6, 2009 at 2:31 PM 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

Carolyn Devonshire May 6, 2009 at 2:12 PM 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
