Dear friends and colleagues in OST, I have struggled and struggled with this notion of self organizing systems, including in conversations on and off of this list. People were patient or not so patient with me as I struggled with what for me was an oxymoron and what for me was a theory that was smaller than how I perceive life and Spirit. And, all of Harrison's words notwithstanding, I couldn't figure out how Open Space fit in.
My thanks to Robert Olander for saying the words that finally made sense to me in my learning journey on this one: "self organizing potential of systems". It leaves room to believe that there is also more going on. It opens the space for me.
