A CLOSING CIRCLE ONLINE... Jeff Aitken posted the following in the online OSONOS space: http://www.openspaceworld.org/wwbb/Forum12/HTML/000012.html
--- I learned some context for the principles from Angeles Arrien, who was one of those nearby around the creation of open space; and I weave thus: We show up in the circle, called by a story whose latest chapter is coming to a close, whose next chapter waits to be written. We pay attention to what has heart and meaning to each of us; put a short title on the wall, sign our names where we feel drawn. We speak our truths without blame or judgement, following our nose and belly into strange attractors of conversation or silence which arise in the fertile chaos. Whoever comes; it starts and ends; Whatever happens; we let it go. We return from our journeys back to the circle; we give away our gifts, writing together this fresh chapter in the story; or perhaps the story has completed; and we go on our way. ---- I thought this was a good way to open the closing of our online space. So i post it here, with a final invitation to visit the online space, post what you are moved to post and then we'll officially move on to whatever comes next. This is the place to record any last comments: http://www.openspaceworld.org/wwbb/Forum12/HTML/000018.html Might follow jeff's suggestion to read through and find a few ideas that really grabbed you. might be last thank you's. might be next steps. whatever needs to be said here to call this (virtual or berlin osonos) finished for you. many thanks to all who've participated, by posting or by reading. it's not the number of keystrokes, but the quality of attention, of course. and so, i leave this space open until late sunday evening, 11/5 and pass the keyboard... now who IS sitting to my right? <grin> see you in the closing circle, ding, ding, ding, ding... michael -- Michael Herman ...inviting the extraordinary to work 300 West North Avenue #1105 Chicago IL 60610 312-280-7838 voice/fax mailto:[email protected] Resources, Reflections, Results http://www.michaelherman.com **PLEASE NOTE NEW WEB ADDRESS** * * ========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected] Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html =========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, 1.
