What would U deem touched Helen Keller's "button of understanding" in the mind, at knowing what WATER was...?
It took one person to realize that Helen Keller had a mind that could be taught a way to communicate. The challenge for her was to be able to show her how. Obviously, Helen had a way to survive, she ate, she drank, and she wore clothes to keep warm, and somehow knew that was the way it was to live. If it were not for the attention that one person gave her, she would have remained a sort of 'wild child/woman, with no more understanding as that..survival. Like the doc gave you attention to what it was you wanted, when he could have ignored it, and went on about his own business. That was not the way he was. It was not the way Helen's teacher was. It was an interest in knowing more about you..a personal level. I think I realized at a young age, a spiritual level of being. Things happen for a reason. A true believer that when I know God, I am never alone. That inner voice that prompts me to pay attention to what I see, hear, and feel. To see God in nature. That life passes, live to die, die to live. It doesn't end here. We come, we go, a cycle to travel with the okie's, and lessons's learned. Communication is relevant. It's a barrier to not have it. Helen communicated enough of herself to the teacher, and the teacher being blessed saw enough of the signs of it. She could feel, and understood what those feelings meant. The teacher broke down that barrier, a perserverance she had in doing so, and not knowing how a person feels, just to know that they do, is sometimes a downfall, to get it wrong, or a great reward to get it right. In following the beat of our own drum, we learn. For us to not understand that, a downfall, and to understand that about one another a great reward.
