Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog?

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, 
when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness 
shut you in and the great ship, tense and 
anxious, groped her way toward the shore with 
plummet and sounding-line, and you waited 
with beating heart for something to happen?

I was like that ship before my education began, 
only I was without compass or sounding line, 
and no way of knowing how near the harbor was.

"Light! Give me light!" was the wordless 
cry of my soul, and the light of love shone
on me in that very hour.
 - Helen Keller, activist
