Free Spirit: Where the Spirit is There is Freedom


Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. II Cor. 3:17

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. Helen Keller
Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.[1][2] The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke ...through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker.
A prolific author, Keller was well-traveled, and was outspoken in her opposition to war. A member of the Socialist Party of America and the Wobblies, she campaigned for women's suffrage, workers' rights, and socialism, as well as many other leftist causes.


Ra Divakar: Thanks, need to read up on that brilliant yet blind woman - her message is quite profound and inspiring.

God is free of fear, oppression,hatred & shame. God is Love. God is giving freely of Love, Joy and Peace. By receiving & Being Love, Joy & Peace, we are truly free, for God's Spirit is pure freedom.
The Living God is beautiful beyond all imagining,
oceans of Love and rivers of Light;
motionless, silent, eternal, serene-
and bubbling up, bounding
in a pleasure-filled fountain
of free-flowing Spirit-
the God who is waiting for us to desire
Love to transform us in pure joy forever.
Blake Steel


The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision. Helen Keller


Orandon Marie:
Truly a miracle worker, Anne Sullivan lived through similar hardships as a young woman, and deeply wanted to help others like herself. She invested herself in Helen's life because no one did that for her, when she was a child. She became a force of social change, onto herself. ♥
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Helen Keller ♥I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace. Helen Keller
Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
