Yes, Harrison - You said: <Lisa -- On the subject of leaving the circle (in Rome we were not in a room) . . . Please note that I said I was leaving AND that I was coming back in an hour. Further - that anybody who cared to continue might join me, and those who felt otherwise should make their own plans. Obviously I didn't say it as bluntly as that, but that was the meaning, which i think they got. I am also very clear that doing what I did is not something to be done either lightly or routinely. But when the space closes down I felt that I should take extraordinary measures to open it up. This is absolutely the opposite of disengagement. At least I think so, and that is the way it felt. I was totally engaged, though obviously absent.>
I totally 'got' that you were fully engaged, and also knowing you and having seen you work I know that you would have found just the right way to say what you were doing without in any way leveraging it or implying anything by it. I also feel that people in the circle would have by the words you chose felt your engagement even in the act of temporarily leaving the circle. I see it as an invitation that you made (offering, not withdrawing)...
