eye contact:
eye contact and what is done with it can go a long way in affecting one's relations with the people and the world around him. the initial response when eye contact is made is usually to look away. don't look away. hold the eye contact and savor it, for you are actually connecting with a person, and this connection should not be

awesome. one of the things i hate is when people you dont know look away just so they dont have to look at you. i always smile at people.

Hope you don't mind that I write something Kev...it's Ashley by the way...
I agree with you that eye contact is a beautiful thing. It is a powerful and almost indescribable connection between two people. Making and maintaining eye contact can be so powerful that it's almost a defense mechanism to look away. I sometimes feel I have to look away in order to keep my walls up and not let anyone in. That's kind of a weird thing to say I guess, but I feel like when people look in my eyes they can see my weaknesses and they can see what I am thinking. It is much more rewarding to maintain that eye contact for as long as possible, but it gets weird sometimes.
Is the weirdness because of the Puritan society in which we live? Or is it because the connection is just too strong? Is that a cop out? Anyway, thought I'd comment...love ya!
