The Art of Relationships: Empty Space

December 4th, 2008

Spent the last few days in deep conversations with my lover about creating empty space in relationships (or as she calls it – negative space). Empty space to frame the beauty of our presence. In the East, the use of space to set off the object of admiration is widespread, – in ikebana, in painting, in zen garden, in feng shui, … martial artists are taught to observe space around opponents, music is formed by sequencing pauses with notes, – the object is defined by its boundary, – by what it’s not, – and boundary is created by space. So,

what if the concept of “empty space” is applied to a relationship in the service of creating wholeness and beauty. What specifically does that mean, and where does that take us? …

removing clutter: unnecessary relationships, unnecessary parts of a relationship, pairing down to reveal the wholeform inside the white noise

and what does it mean to create empty space in the relationship to Self? who must “I” be to stand tall the weight of all that empty space?

Feedback Manifesto

February 21st, 2007

Want to make your life and this world a better place?

Then master the art of giving feedback. Everyone will love you for it. And you will be helping them to grow, because they will be able to accept your ”criticism”.

To make this easier, I created a Feedback Manifesto.

Print it out and post it in your office, – give it to your employees, your colleagues. Pin it to a wall at home, – give it to your kids, your parents, your friends. Keep it right in front of your eyes until it penetrates your mind and flows freely in your blood.

The world and your life will be a much better place for it.
