Sanwen
No. 33 · Leaving Room
The verse
Empty space in a painting lets the scene appear;
idle time in a day lets the breeze come through.
What it means
A schedule packed too tight leaves no room to breathe or think. Today suits keeping a stretch of time deliberately empty; let yourself breathe, and inspiration may turn up in the gap.
Something to do today
- Leave a fifteen-minute blank in today's schedule.
