If open space works for itself, there cannot be more or less open
space. Well, open space is breathing,
breathe in - break - breathe out - break. In the break there may be a
lot of hesitation. We expect that open space fits with our idea of
open space. But open space is independent. It is what it is. Sometimes
it seems to be more, sometimes it seems to be less. But it is always
open space. And if someone or I myself is missing openness it´s on her
or him or on me open the mouth or the mind or the arm to change the
situation (or to go fishing).
My two pence.

Suzanne said –“I have also seen participants who shared that they
were at an Open Space event before and that it looked nothing like
the one they may have just experienced now.”
The sad tale of OS that wasn’t. We’ve all heard it before, and
doubtless there are dozens more that we will never know about. And
it is too bad – but I sincerely doubt that there is a single thing
to be done about it, save making sure that whenever we open space
everybody gets the whole enchilada. No amount of training, pleading,
legislation, certification, authorizing, monitoring, mentoring –
will do a bloody bit of good, I think. Somebody is always going to
look for a “better” way – a little addition, an added technique, a
subtle control – whatever. And maybe they will find it, God love’em.
In the meantime, and with all charity I have to admit – I can’t be
bothered. At the end of the day Open Space is going to be just fine.
Not because we have protected it but simply because it works all by
itself, as it has for millennia.
Gone Fishing…
