C o N g R a T u L a T I O n S !!! Or should I say, Woo-HOO! I am guessing that you held space in a nurturing and pure way, Robert, as is your personal style. It is true that it requires a lot of giving away, letting go, releasing of expectations and hoped-fors, but it delivers a lot of never-expecteds. That's why I always describe it as...breathing lessons. Folks on the list - I am really humbled by the caliber, talent and passion of the people I am so honored to be with in my learning workshops. I learn so much and the room of participants who find their way to these workshops is so rich with experience and perspective and exploration and nutrition. Bob, you teach me so much. I am also amazed at the courage it takes each and every one of us who begins our work in Open Space to jump off into the unknown...with faith. And each time we do it, no matter how many years we've been doing it, it's the same faith in and release to the unknown. Truly a sacred moment. Reminds me of a sign I once saw in a window of a house in San Francisco: "Leap ...and the net will follow." Bravo, dear Robert - may you have many more surprising and reaffirming experiences in Open Space. The world is a better place for you being in it and sharing of your generous spirit, skill and faith.
