What is White Space Time?

4/28/2021

 

WHITE SPACE 

When I feel the automatic urge
to pick up my phone, switch on
the TV, or browse the net,
I now pause.
 
For I realise that these are
habits I’ve learned.
I fill my brain and use up my time,
with activities.
 
It’s all other people’s content,
and although some is good,
to be honest, most is not really
the food of life!
 
I 'm trying not to give away
my time and my focus to external
content. I'm learning to be
more selective in my choices.
 
My freelance graphic designer
has spent years telling me
about white space, and urging
me to see things differently.
 
‘You don’t need to fill
every piece of the page
with text, images or content,’
she says.
 
I’m now leaving empty spaces
in my day, replacing the urge
to fill every moment.
It’s my white space time.
