Hi Harrison,

"The last H0-T but not the last OT"

Well, well, OT18 was certainly a high note to end on!! And it was a great 
extravaganza.

All of the OT's were pure Open Space, as they were  originally designed to be – 
Yes –TO  BE.
Nothing was trying to happen, there were few, if any, ‘givens'.  The 4 
principles and the one law etc. worked so well.  It was Open Space with no 
convergence, only openings.  Transformation at its best;  much diversity in all 
directions, deep dialogue listening, spontaneous playfulness, and the 
opportunity to express our various ‘selves'.

While it does seem like a little death, where we cannot take for granted that 
another annual  OT will continue, we need to pause, reflect and honor what you 
have given to us, Harrison. Over the years, you have given the world a great 
gift of transformation. A tool– so simple, yet so profound--, as we live though 
it and experience it all.  You have birthed many hundreds of 
mid-wives/facilitators to carry on.  Open Space is now around the world.  It is 
fast becoming the only way to do business.  You HAVE  passed the torch to us 
and it is now up to us -- all of us.--- to live, breathe, and do business in 
Open Space.  There is so much more to say.   Now is the time for experiencing 
and just being where we need to be.
                                                       Thank you Harrison.
