Day 8: Creating Space

On March 19 (yesterday) I created space more so than I created something tangible. But that may need to happen as I get started with my Thirty-Third year. I put some things aside, created lists and moved forward, lived the every-day life. So to reflect on my creating space I found these quotes to inspire the continuation of that "space-creating" in the hopes of more "other creating"...

Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.  John Updike

I like the idea of blank spaces and that they get filled. I also like blank spaces that are allowed to be. Some kind of creative tension arises from the nothingness. Sandra Geller

All space is space in which to create. Eric Maisel

A painter is a choreographer of space. Barnett Newman

What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit. John Updike

The hardest thing is to make this little space for yourself where you can think and not get inundated with other stuff coming in. (Catherine Yass)

 

And I came upon my own quote while looking through these...

Creating space is necessary in creating and seeing. Once new space is created, you start seeing new ways to fill it with even more beautiful things than what was there before. But sometimes you bring back what was there... because you recognize it once again as beautiful. - megan e. evans
