The above mural features a poem by Helen Keller. Helen could not hear, see. or speak, yet she graduated from college and became a famous author and poet. Here is the poem I machine embroidered onto the mural...
Oh, beautiful, blind stones, inarticulate and dumb.
In the deep gloom of their hearts there is a gleam of the primeval sun
which looked upon them when they were begotten.
So in the heart of man there shines a beam from the
everlasting son of God.
Rude, unresponsive are the stones.
Yet, in them, divine things lie concealed.
I hear their imprisoned chant.
We are fragments of the universe.
I can't read it without tearing up.
