Eye Contact
| by Else Manz It is an action - packed connection, Experienced every time a message… sent or received ...is read That allows you to go beyond the verbal; to hear that which is not being said. It says: this time is precious, And I have made a conscious decision to spend it with you. The conversation is silent, but there is meaningful dialogue between us two. It says: I acknowledge you. I want it to be known, that you are worthy of my consideration, My full intent is to stay focused and undivided will be my attention. It says: I recognize your presence. It is much like the extending of ones’ hand. I’m interested in what you are saying and will make every effort to understand. It says: I am still a work in progress, So please recognize my efforts. Although I have not yet reached my peak, I’ll keep my promise to remain attentive, never looking past you as we speak. Why don’t you try it! Just for today…dare to listen with your eyes as well as with your ears, And the messages you will see and hear will become amazingly loud and clear. While the words may remain unspoken, your actions continue to shout, A special message that will merit a reaction from the young and from the old, By the act of making eye contact, you’ve delivered a gift more valuable than gold! ►Back to Story Corner |
