Subject: The Spectrum of Vision: Beyond the Binary of Blindness
Hey Friends
Welcome Back 👋
I recently stumbled upon a video from TED Talks Daily featuring Andrew Leland. The episode delves into the nuances of vision loss and challenges the conventional understanding of blindness.
Andrew Leland, a writer, audio producer, and editor, shares his personal journey of gradual vision loss. Through his experiences, he unravels a paradoxical truth about blindness. He posits that blindness isn't just a binary state of being able to see or not. Instead, it exists on a rich spectrum, with varying degrees and experiences.
This really got me thinking about the broader implications of how we perceive the world around us. Our understanding of many things is often limited to binaries, but life, in its essence, is a spectrum. Whether it's emotions, experiences, or even physical states like blindness, there's a vast range in between the extremes that often goes unnoticed.
Inspired by this profound discussion, here is a journal prompt that I hope will challenge you to introspect and reflect on the spectrums in your life.
Journal Prompt:
A Moment Beyond Sight:
Recall a time when you experienced something profound without relying primarily on your sense of sight. Maybe it was a conversation in the dark, a melody that evoked deep emotions, or the feel of rain on your skin. Describe the setting, the people involved, and the emotions you felt. How did this experience shift your understanding or appreciation of the non-visual aspects of life?
Challenge:
For the next week, make it a point to notice the spectrums in your daily life. It could be the varying emotions of people around you, the different shades of a color, or the myriad sounds in your environment. At the end of each day, jot down your observations and any insights you've gained.
Before I wrap up, I'd like to remind you of the transformative power of journaling. It's a journey of self-discovery, understanding, and growth.
