Tool of communication

The video above is a way of communication that made an impact on me. I was first introduced to this while attending a church service. A few months back, while attending an Easter Mass in my church, i had experienced a different kind communication towards God. Besides the usual church choir leading us in praise,we, the congregation were joined in by a group of dumb and deaf people. They were joining us in praise through sign language. It was definitely a sight to behold.
These gifted people were 'singing' their hearts out,with full of joy and enthusiasm. It just goes to prove that communication can be done in many ways and it doesn't necessarily have to involve your vocal cords!
Learning sign language is a rewarding experience that leads to greater communication skills. its a method thats been passed down through the years. Just how people say learning an extra language is an advantage, but i say learning sign language is a gift. Its so normal for people to convers by language and words. Its a social "norm" to convers with the tongue and we take everything else for granted. Picture the use of sign language where all senses are being enhanced. The eyes become so special and touch becomes everything. I say its special to witness such beauty at a time when it seems so dead. The gift of of them in the society brings forth untold beauty that can only be experienced. I'm very thankfull that i have experienced it.
