Some people believe it was Leonardi DaVinci who once said,
"The eyes are the window to the soul."
Whether it was DaVinci or not, most people believe that the eyes tell us much about a person. Eyes also communicate feelings with a single wink, stare, glance, or sneer. There is no other nonverbal gesture that draws us in like the eyes do!
If a person is unable to "look you in the eyes," we assume that he/she is telling a lie. If a teenager rolls their eyes, a parent immediately knows what that gesture means. When a tear forms in the corner of the eye and gently rolls down your friend's cheek, you know what you've said in anger was hurtful and an apology is in order. But a tear forming in the corner of the eye means something entirely different when a bride looks lovingly at the man she's always dreamed of, standing directly across from her, holding her hand as she says, "I do."
Eyes are tired, eyes are itchy, eyes are old and eyes are wide opened. Eyes show desire, anger, fear, shock, intensity, and disbelief. Eyes reveal deep, dark secrets, and look away when the pain is too much. The human eyes certainly seem to channel our inner emotions...even when we try hard to not let the world see...
Next time you wish to communicate a certain thought or feeling, see if you can communicate with just a look...I bet you'll discover that your eyes have it...that special ability to communicate...your own, unique window to your soul.
