i also think that posting a topic, in any form (OST, listserv, forum, bulletin board, in converstation, etc.) is a way of inviting curiosity and care. by focussing the attention and inviting expanssion/exploration with others, one is inviting others to join in the momentum of bringing a topic out into action... a chance to expand upon the notion through curiosity and care. when passion accompanies accepting the invitation, that's when a collective assumption of responsibility seems to be most powerful. feels silly to be saying this to this audience...as i'm just describing OST. "Passion to responsibility is more of a glide than a phase shift." chris, will you say more about that? thanks, ashley www.ashleycoop.blogspot.com * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
