Hey Frank, I've been looking and I can't actually find any other conversations on it. For that matter I don't remember where I came across the term in the first place. I think I most often hear it explained as "the space between the notes" in music. In a way, it takes more guts as a film maker. If you are constantly cutting and jumping your audience will get drug along just because human instinct is to watch a change (to make sure it's not a tiger coming out of the grass) but to slow down and have breathing space you have to be confident in your storytelling. The difference between a teacher who yells to get the classes attention, and one who just continues talking quietly and the class can't help but pay attention. Definitely a topic worth more exploration and discussion.

it's never going to be easier, only harder. Life will never say "hey, why don't you take a break from all the stuff you have to do so you can CREATE something". So stop making excuses and start making sacrifices to get that thing you want to do, done (or at least begun).

Hey Alonso thanks for linking up. I agree it's a good post. Do you know of any other discussions about it?
