Dear Reader, one of the powerful lessons I learned in conducting the 303 vigils held over 6 years, is that when I stood close to the traffic and smiled, while establishing eye contact, the vigil touched many people without a word being spoken between us.
There is a primal communication that starts with the eyes and extends through the body language and if the recipient doesn't feel threatened, he or she will absorb the message. I know this because some people have come up to me later and referenced the vigil, including their thoughts about it. And I often felt that they were receiving the message at the moment it was given because they too communicated through their eyes and body language.
