Helen Keller was anchored by an enormous spiritual faith. Her optimism and common sense shines through all her writings – which were many! The following wise words seem particularly relevant today:
“However strenuous the times may be, we need to relax so as to gain insight into the reservoirs of feeling and dream which make us what we are. I have read of a tribe in the Amazon Valley who on a long journey stop every little while in order to let their s...ouls catch up with their bodies. What a refreshing instinct! It is high time we stop our materialistic rushing to and fro and give the soul leisure to explore its treasures, recharge its faith and devise abilities to overtake the body.”

I am not sure of the Copyrights, issues; however, to me there can be only one title for such a visionary institution…….
In the words, sang to us, while on that floor, in THIS CIRCLE……by this one genius…
Somewhere
Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care
Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere
