About The Visual Intervention
Received the Visual Intervention in 2012 – Falls Lake, Durham, North Carolina.
Water, all shades of blue with the sunlight dancing over it. It’s a picture of pure energy and movement, not rushing to get anywhere but just moving because that’s what water does. It’s nature in its element, doing its thing, and it’s kind of like us when we’re in our groove, isn’t it?
In our packed days, with every minute scheduled, it’s easy to forget the feeling of just being. But like this water, we need to remember how to flow. How to let our energy move through work, play, and rest without forcing it, without fighting the current. This is where mindfulness comes in—being aware of the moment, even if it’s just noticing how your coffee smells in the morning or how the air feels when you step outside.
People are turning to all sorts of things to find this flow—meditation to quiet the mind, art to express what’s inside, and nature to remind us we’re part of something bigger. We do this not to escape life, but to live it more fully. To connect with the world around us and find a rhythm that feels right.
And as we navigate our lives, let’s not forget to be kind. Kindness is like the warm patches of sun on this water—it makes everything shine a bit brighter. It’s about understanding that everyone has their own undercurrents, their own struggles and triumphs, and treating them with the same empathy we’d want for ourselves.
So next time life feels like a bit too much, think about this water. Let it remind you to find your flow, to be kind, and to connect with the world in a way that brings you peace. It’s all about balance, acceptance, and riding the waves with a bit of grace. That’s the sweet spot—your energy, your peace, your life in full color.
