Helen Adams Keller
FACING FATE
Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
than outright exposure.
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.
by Helen Keller
Let Us Have Faith (1940)

I found this poem taped to a cash register. I don't know who put this photo together but it gives me a sense of wonder. A stranger gave it to me. I want to share it with you. Jeanne Meyers, MY HERO staff
