For Nicolai von Ertzdorff Dear Nicolai The line : "Passion is the best leader. And compassion is the best follower..." really is marvellous. In my experience, it is always true - and when we are able - as openers of space - to allow/evoke/enable "responsibility" to be present in that mix, then we are always in for surprises and unexpected outcomes of which we have never previously dreamed. I remember a very senior Church leader at the end of a three-day open Space event, contributing to the closing circle (talking stick) segment, that he almost felt this event had not been Catholic - (I am a Catholic priest) - because "there haven't been any fights; lots of major disagreements, but no fights". And he was enormously complimentary to this "seamless process" which had kept the peace and still progressed the business at hand in very surprising fashions which have since been implemented by those present. Lovely stuff, I reckon. My two cent's of contribution to the good work you are doing, Nicolai. Cheers and blessings from Melbourne, Australia. BRIAN -- Fr Brian S. Bainbridge 0412 111 525
