Helen Keller was an American author, political activist, lecturer, and advocate for disability rights who lost her sight and hearing at 19 months old due to illness. She became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a university degree, and wrote fourteen books and hundreds of speeches and essays. She said, “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.”

Uncertainty is part of life. Accepting uncertainty opens a field of possibilities and solutions that spontaneously emerge out of the chaos. Within this field of impermanence lies the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.
