空白

"You Seek and You Shall Find. "

這是真實的。

我跟上帝說，我想找祢。
對我說話吧。

祂就日夜不休的對你說話。

祂不是碎碎唸，在說話與說話之間，
總會留下了一片空白，讓你想像、感受。

祂好像在講不同的故事，
但又好像每個故事之間有千絲萬縷的關係。


生命，生活，真的需要一個空間。
一些留白，讓上帝做祂的工作。

 "Artists use the term 'negative space' to name the importance of what is not there in a sculpture or painting. An artist has to know what to leave out as well as what to put in. Openness, emptiness, breathing space -- what you don't see provides adequate room to see the created work ...

What the negatives do is leave room for the main action, God's action. When we talk too much or do too much, we get in the way of what God is doing. We becomes a distraction. ...

Becoming mature 'to the measure of the full stature of Christ', the practice of resurrection, requires a lot of negative space -- a lot of not saying, a lot of not doing."

-- Practise Resurrection, Eugene Peterson
