Hello, dear colleagues
For this message I am wearing my tiara as the inviter of poetry. When I asked for poetry on anything reflecting Open Space in Portuguese, dear Florian sent me this message, which I now share with you: ... and why not poetry as well in spanish while artur and I and some more are travelling round the comon axis on the same iberian-peninsula ... And what a marvelous idea. The Iberian Peninsula is in the extreme southwest of Europe inclusive of the regions of Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra. Languages spoken in the Iberian Peninsula can or have included Basque Catalan Portuguese Spanish Ladino Mirandese Galician Llanito Aragonese Asturian Occitan / Aranese oh yes, and English. and historically . Mozarabic Aljamia Arabic Hebrew Latin Leonese Berber Romance Lusitanian Celtiberian Tartessian (who knew? How richly textured, the linguistic history and present of the Iberian Peninsula. I looked it up.) So now, I welcome poetry reflective of Open Space in all languages of the Iberian Peninsula, past and present. You can translate them into English, but you do not have to feel free to write them in their original language only there will be those on this list who will understand and enjoy. And those of us who do not understand the language can look at the text and breathe and feel spirit from the words our bodies and cells will understand, even if our brains may not. If your poetry is in a different alphabet than we use here on the list, perhaps youd like to share a link with us to where we can read it on the web. Enjoy. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Here, now, is Florians poem: it´s about »now«. I dedicated it a year ago to a spanish client after we had spoken about open space / espacio abierto. ahora yo no digo no nada, no buddha, no zen, no tao, no tengo ninguna idea tampoco ningun mensaje quiero callarme a mi mismo como a todo y todos para abrirme totalmente desde las puntas de mi pelo hasta la planta de mis pies entre los cielos y la tierra para estar solo y solamente mientras en el momento de aqui y ahoramismo --------------------------- florian fischer www.begleitung-im-wandel.com [email protected] ___________________________ L i s a H e f t Consultant, Facilitator, Educator O p e n i n g S p a c e <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.openingspace.net> www.openingspace.net * * ========================================================== [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
