Dear precious friends and colleagues, Last night Barry Owen reached out to me to say that his dad had passed away... peacefully a few hours earlier in Camden Maine.
He briefly described that Harrison had prepared his family, friends and colleagues well for this moment. Staying in touch and connecting, opening and holding the space. And that space will always be open, said Barry. "He's still holding the space now... Earlier in the day, Barry had also shared a love note with me that he wrote to his dad. I asked if he/we could post it here feeling that the message speaks to all of us — his Global Open Space family. He heartily agreed. Barry was back on the job this morning, in a way, honoring his father's wishes that none of us work too hard or make too much of a big deal of him leaving us. Of course we know that's impossible for a billion reasons. *But for now* as we sit together in this big global circle, grieving and missing him, with hige blank white sheets in the middle of the virtual floor, each of us expressing our thoughts, feelings and memories, captured in a very special future Book of Proceedings, HERE..the love note that Barry send to his to his dad. I am but the humble messenger. Suzanne *The Title: Loving You* Good morning Dad! I hope you are feeling the love and comfort from the many millions (BILLIONS) people whose lives have been enriched by your presence throughout your 88 years while here on Earth. I wish for you a passing of comfort, Love, Peace, Joy HAPPINESS to have lived your life to your FULLEST. You Taught us not to work so damned HARD Right People Right Place RightTime All the right things have happened the Lord knows you will pass when "it" is over! --THANK YOU for "The Law of 2 feet" BumbleBees Butterflies Space invaders Noses out of joint I Love you Dad! Barry
