Jeff - somehow I missed the "Walnuts and Lemon" routine. May I say that as a member of your PhD committee I am very pleased with your ascetic approach to such a high calling (the PhD). Mortification of the body often has the positive effect of sharpening the mind. Since you got your degree, I guess it worked.

Beautifully put, Jack. And thanks to a few friends for pointing out that my post felt like anxious waiting rather than making stuff happen. I should be clear that I'm most grateful for the desk jobs that supported me to finish my PhD. During that walnuts & lemons phase I was opening space in community meetings at donated locations and passing a hat. Not a great funding nor survival strategy, alas. So I return to the inquiry, doctorate in hand, finding spaces to open for communities to connect and prepare for the Great Turning which seems ripe to emerge. blessings Jeff San Francisco _____ Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 20:25:10 -0500 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: more funding community work? To: [email protected] Harrison, Great sage wisdom. What resonates is the futility of anxious waiting and marketing (sometimes the same thing). Much better, I've found, to just get busy and make something happen. It's actually a very good day when we get more known for making something happen! :) Anxiety, it seems, is never as rewarded as generosity. with love, Jack -- Jack Ricchiuto www.DesigningLife.com <http://www.designinglife.com/> / 216.373.7475 (EST) Announcing "Conscious Becoming", now available in paperback - visit ConsciousBecoming.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 _____ Share life as it happens with the new Windows Live.
