Hi Fellow TOP Trainer,
I re-read "Synchronicity" during this renewal space/time period. The quote
has been a favorite of mine for years. In times of transition and
exploration (or procrastination), I've posted it above my computer to remind
me . . . "Until one is committed..." Maria Ort

Hello Christine,
You quoted part of one of my all-time favorite quotes and I just wanted
to acknowledge that. Do you know about the book "Synchronicity" by Joe
Jaworski? I ask because that quote is peppered throughout the book and
is also a favorite of mine.
Was just in Phoenix for a Cultural Competency training with my fellow
Technology of Participation trainers. Are you, by any chance, familiar
with ICA's facilitation methods? I've been using them for about 15
years and within the last year started to do Open Space facilitation.
I'm totally hooked.
More when there's an opening in time. Let me know if anything I've
written is of interest.

Joelle, isn't that amazing? Maybe it is the power of intention or perhaps
the complimentary phenomenon of Goethe's wonderful "moment one definitely
commits oneself, then Providence moves too."

I've finally broken the surface after swimming up from the bottom of the
flu
river that hit our family over the holidays. I'm not recommending this as
a
first choice for a spiritual retreat, but being so sick did have the
effect
of quieting my mind and giving me the experience of living beyond time. I
wasn't able to do any of my "normal" stuff and therefore, I could not
distract myself in any of my favorite ways. And, I can't explain this -
during my absence, there was very little activity of any kind that needed
my
regular attention. So, as I've resurfaced, I'm not at all "behind." I've
also had this experience when I was working out of the country. How does
that work? A shorthand description might be that this is how it works in
open space/open time. Another, more shamanistic take may be that our
ordinary experience of time and space is altered when second attention
takes
over.
Christine--
A few years back, Paul and I decided to take a much needed sabbatical. The
amazing (and scary) thing was that for the whole two and a half years that
we were away from consulting work, we had not one business-related call,
no e-mail inquiries, nothing. Within a week of deciding that it was time
to get back to work, we had an assignment from a new client. I never
understood what was at work here. . . unless maybe the power of intention.
I like your river-bottom metaphor--we also have spent a virus-laden
holiday season. Glad to hear you are out and about again!
