when i work with kids who have lived on the streets of port au prince. i can't begin to imagine the pain and suffering that they have experienced. i can only be present with them. open space, listen, and support them. >> John-- I want to argue with your feelings of inadequacy. What I hear in your report is that you are present with compassion and without condescension, that you listen and support them and make the needed logistical arrangements so they are able to come together in Open Space. Who you are is more than adequate to this difficult work, even though you have not had the same experiences! Best wishes for your trip to Israel and Palestine, though I will miss your presence at OSONOS.
