EYE CONTACT

 

EYE CONTACT - Some people find that looking others in the eye can prove to be uncomfortable, especially if the other person is someone in authority, confrontational, or has convictions opposite to ours.  And maybe to look someone directly in the eye is to acknowledge their full humanity and worth.  Henry David Thoreau referred to the willingness of looking others in the eye as a miracle.  In this day and time, maybe that is what is needed - a miracle so that we are willing to look others in the eye and converse with them.  Such a willingness might just change our lives for the better - and our world, one glance at a time.
