Negative
space... the area in a photo giving the subject a little... breathing
room.
How
ironic is it that in life, when we are given a little 'breathing room'
ourselves... our minds begin to unclutter, decompress and slowly rejuvenate.
Negative
space gives room to breath.
Negative
space gives room to grow... to create... and to renew.
Negative
space opens our minds... which in turn helps us to refocus.
Negative
space isn't 'negative' at all.
There
are so many ways to find your 'breathing room' and clear your mind. For instance, take a hot bath... go for a long walk... ride a bike... meditate... practice yoga... and
on and on.
For
myself, I enjoy running. During
this time I do not listen to music... but simply unwind by listening to my
breath. I guess you could say it's
a form of meditation for me. My mind empties in a matter of minutes and
becomes... clearer. I am the leaf
and my space is the running path ahead of me. It's vast... and I embrace it
with joy!
So, my question for you today is... can you relate to that photo and the message
behind it? And if so... how?
