Here’s a quote by Helen Keller illustrating just how deeply she immersed herself in the world of stories, and why:
Literature is my Utopia.
Here I am not disenfranchised.
No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
I think it’s interesting that the thing she valued most about her utopia isn’t that it enabled her to see or hear in that world, but instead that it let her experience what it’s like to be treated as the average person is treated.
Stories are such a powerful venue for all sorts of hopes and dreams to play out…but it can be surprising what utopias lie in people’s hearts.

If We started a Mission to search and discover what it is in every each person´s mind, the atomic weight of those thoughts and Ideas would be long heavier than all elements together. If my Utopia would be known and described by a simple line in a book, that one would be: the things I didn´t tell you because the Wall in betewen is to thick as the distance from my sea to yours.What´s your utopia?
Very poetic way to put that Nairim, seas and walls hold back so much. My utopia would be to have a big family that loves me and all the normal but wonderful things that come with that.
Thanks so much for the article post. Awesome.
