Thank you so much to Ralph, Brian, Chris C, Elena, Joelle, Elwin, Harrison, Glory, Florian and Artur --
Amazing, as always. I put the word out and you give back not only your thoughts but also some of my own thoughts, as well. Somebody tell me why we have periodic amnesia about letting go? About not messing up with the process? Somehow I thought that these people needed to be replenished and reinspired by telling the stories of their successes. What -- because I didn't believe that the Open Space would give them all the inspiration and replenishment in the world? Well, I totally believe it, so I must have taken leave of my senses (or let that old nasty 'logic' get in the way of that brilliant 'intuition', eh?) As we all know, the process is very forgiving. So the process forgave even my meddling. And you also remind me that the room rarely squishes 'the space' once it's opened. The people just press it outwards to their own comfort, as your account of the school children, Michael, reminds me. Once again, I delight in receiving feedback, analysis, support, wisdom, stories and nourishment from you, my Open Space world community. Once again, I delight in relearning (for my life practice and for my professional practice) about letting go's, about holding space and faith and spirit and belief. >From all outward appearances I work mostly alone -- but in Open Space I am never alone -- always among those I hold space with and all of you wonderful beings. I am so very lucky.
