The Root weid- to see · to find

The root of VISION is the ancient word weid-. This single root grew into two branches of human experience: to see (the Latin videre) and to find (the Old English witan).

To reVISION is to bring those two branches back together — seeing something so clearly, beyond what we assumed was already there, that you find the value hidden in plain sight.

It's a return to our native ability to find the "extra" in the "ordinary."

What happens when you change the way you look at things? That's the central question behind reVISION. The concept is built on a profound, powerful truth: when you change the way you see things, the things you see change.

It's the path where the unwanted, the discarded, the unvalued, or the simply ignored meet our attention, ingenuity, and resourcefulness, revealing a world of astonishing potential in unexpected places.

reVISION inspires us to look with curiosity and wonder, not just at the places and things around us but also within ourselves. This journey reveals how a shift in perspective can lead to brilliant creations, remarkable solutions, and extraordinary innovations, while also helping us discover the simple, unseen wonders and profound insights in our everyday lives.

An invitation to see differently.

reVISION is a collection of stories that prove transformation happens — from rats trained to detect landmines to discarded materials becoming celebrated art. It's practices and tools for developing your own capacity to shift perspective. It's a growing community of people who believe that how we look at something changes what becomes possible.

Whether you're here to discover inspiring stories, learn perspective-shifting techniques, experience interactive tools, or connect with others who see the world this way — reVISION offers pathways into this way of being.

The Journey

reVISION emerged from decades of noticing. Noticing how a simple shift in attention could reveal hidden value. Noticing patterns across nature, art, science, and human stories where the overlooked became extraordinary. Noticing that this wasn't random — it was a practice that could be cultivated.

What began as a personal collection of these moments has grown into something larger: a curated space for anyone ready to explore what happens when they change the way they see.

You don't need to believe anything new. You just need to be willing to look again — at the world around you, and perhaps at yourself.

The unwanted. The discarded. The ignored. The undervalued.

What might they become with a shift in perspective?

reVISION is a growing collaboration. Interested in contributing?
