Yes Joy we were! It still over 2 months later blesses our souls especially when we were that it blesses others. It brings us right back to the moments we spent with them.

The happiness within it, and seeing the children literally "fed" by the input of energy. I'm sure the rappers and videographers were similarly gifted by the experience, as I was.

The notion that I can listen with my eyes! I just realized these talented people have language to express their ideas, both simple and complicated. Others also have language I need to learn. We [I] are [am] missing so much in our world. Thank you to Videographer. Ellie Walton, and Hip Hop artist, Chad Harper (aka Famus), for showing my heart how to listen with my eyes! chadharper@hiphopsaveslives.org

Talking with our hands and listening with our eyes crates a different kind of connectedness and makes me fully attentive and curious about what I am seeing and what you are saying. We become too verbose and analytical in our day to day communication missing the power of talking with our hands and listening with our eyes. I find this video very interesting and refreshing. This video inspired me to come up with a similar saying: Unspoken words are very powerful when we litem to the whisperings arising from our hearts. I work with children and when I listen to their hands and when I my heart whispers my love for them, I feel deeply connected with them and they fell the same way.

Great video, but I could not see how to turn on the closed captioning? Is it captioned for Deaf people?

My brother is deaf and it is humbling to see him go through his daily life. People have often treated him as if he were dumb but that never discouraged him. I think it almost empowered him. Thank you for making this video to help others realize that the deaf community is no different than everyone else.
