Ralph, One of the synonyms for indifference is "unconcern". When I'm in open space, I can relax and be unconcerned because we are all practicing the principle of "whatever happens...", which I find to be the perfect invitation for beginner's mind. Thanks for the reflection and connection.

Open space, I have often told myself, succeeds in part because we bring our passion, infused with the energy of commitment or responsibility. But as I stumble over that one word, I find myself asking if os succeeds also because participants can relax and let go of something; we can settle into some form of indifference characterized by a kind of less-certainty or non-knowing. Maybe it's just relaxation. Perhaps so much good stuff happens because tension levels rarely run high, replaced by play and buoyancy. Ralph Copleman P.S. To those who are generously inviting me to be a friend on Facebook, Open Space World, or any other social networking program: I appreciate the interest, but I cannot keep up with everyone so I am limiting my "confirm" responses these days to a very few. A no- response does not mean I am "indifferent" to you.
