What is not,

helps us define what is.

What is not,

soon becomes what is.

The what is,

is what was not.

What was left out,

is just as important

as what is put in.

.

White space

is as real as what fills it.

All acts of creation,

start with a blank canvas...

use it wisely.

I would like a clean, blank canvas to poop on. That would be high art.

Nice, Michael. We can see this through life, if we look for it. What makes Clapton so great are the notes he doesn't play.

We can all be art if we use the blank canvas properly.

Ask Bret for some cheese, I'm sure he will be happy to cut some for you. Wine too?

Cheers Bret, please pass the cheese, but please don't cut it. Thanks Jonah, I feel lucky just having you around. Thanks President Friendly. Richard, you got more, you will be Buddy's VP in 2008, not me. I don't do politics anymore. Arnold, white space is both your mother and your father. They decided to create you to fill in their gaps. They did good, you're a fine young man.

One of the most important aspects of all creativity in any field, that I have never seen discussed so brilliantly. Starting something. Bravo Iva! (Will you be my vice president in 2008?)

This post feels like a venture to the gallery, where is my glass of wine?
