Yea for OSI Austrailia! It makes the following story have even more sense. I recently opened the space in a national (Canadian) church organization looking at implementing some future directions. I had a horrible cold that had attacked my throat--so when I opened the space I had to carry both a mike and a glass of water just to get through the opening. In this event, the darkness was substantial and the dead moose became visisble e.g. Many did not want to accept the directions or implement them. I had to be centered and clear to keep the space open (even thought my nose and throat were not), but I did and some light came in.
However, one knowledgable particant stated during the evening news, " "You talked about bumblebees and butterflys, but you didn't say anything about ostriches." There certainly were quite a few who perferred to put their head in the sand and complain rather than take iniative and provide focus and leadership. There was some shift after the evening and morining news, but it was certainly a way that some tried to avoid the light. Larry
