This morning, I was thinking about positive space and negative space.

The call and the response.

The masculine and the feminine, if you will.

Between any of these things is a boundary.

In order to have true negative space, you must have a clear border.

A gradient will not do.

At a certain point, it becomes simple:

Yes, this is the object.

No, this is not the object.

That requires discernment, the ability to differentiate between That Which Is and That Which Is Not.

Discernment is a lost art these days.

And we all grow poorer for a lack of negative space.
