The eyes of Saudi women are very powerful. Their eyes are their weapon. Their eyes are their web. Their eyes keep them strong, open doors, and create the magic of conversation.
“There is a language here in Saudi that is spoken only with the eyes,” we are told.
In a room of black, the eyes can start a conversation, beckon a child, pay respect and create laughter.
Sitting in a cafeteria during prayer hour, a fully veiled mother, turned quietly and caught my eyes in hers. Within a split second her chair was turned and Mariana and I were deep in conversation with her, chatting about our children, her family, life in Saudi, and the pleasure of being veiled.
Opportunity: By Choosing To Catch Their Eyes, You Open Their Hearts.
