that, perhaps, a good thing? It means there isn't an easy
hook and handle, no way for media to put a frame around what's
happening. The circles, the low voices, the turn-taking: the
chance for something new to emerge, before being re-packaged
into news-bites and positions. Less drama, more sustained
engagement, no?

Lesley, your question of "why isn't this hot news" caught my
attention. I been aware that even though many of us are
immersed in this kind of work, evolution and even revolution,
and have been for some time, it still goes on largely under
the radar of the mainstream -- but it still goes on, in
increasingly more places with increasingly greater numbers of
people. The thirst, hunger and yearning for the depth of
conversation that shifts the shape of the world in small and
large ways is growing. It is happening in nooks and crannies
all over the globe. Communities of practice are emerging that
are local, translocal, intra- and inter- organizational. The
network is still not fully visible to itself and the call for
it always grows stronger. Sharing these stories in this forum
and in others that we each belong to fuels the momentum of
this work, helps us all be aware of the successes -- small and
large -- that are showing up in the most amazing places and in
the most amazing ways and fuels hope, inspiration and greater
longing in each of us. It always seems to come back to --
host yourself, host others, host the field. It makes me smile
to read these stories and to connect and reconnect to my many
good friends in this network all over the world. In light and
love, Kathy

Thanks for the discussion about events in Spain, especially
from Linda's mates in Barcelona. It's intriguing and
inspiring. I am also disappointed about having to look so
hard to find information in the mainstream media- why isn't it
hot news? It's so positive, and such a powerful and
meaningful response to the state our world is in. Young
people's vitality, ideas and hope, for which the global market
seems to have no use, are energising public spaces all over
Spain, and inspiring citizens of all ages to join in. How
great is that. And not revisiting older, more fixed ideas,
say of nationalism or entrenched, ossified political
ideologies, but trying to start afresh and work it out
together in dialogue and openness. Wow.
It makes me wonder what energy we could realise in the UK if
we found ways of engaging with our inherent hopefulness. I've
been thinking it would be good to try and network all the
talented, committed and experienced public servants who are
also being spat out by globalisation and the UK governments
abject acceptance of its flawed logic (where growth is the
only show in town and so many of the key players seem to be
sleepwalking into environmental breakdown). Just open space
to see what ideas emerge?
It does seem as if something is stirring, and it's quite hard
not to get excited! Maybe we can all be part of these
changes, by being brave enough to go with the uncertainties,
and step into the swirl of events, noticing the most enticing
possibilities and putting all of ourselves in those places.
Bravo Espana

Dear all inspired by this we have been talking to mates in
Barcelona who are telling us about whats happening -- they
have talked about a huge self organised human movement coming
from the people asking for electoral change. That the banks
don't bank roll elections and spend loads of money on
campaigning,that the lists for voting are open for people but
not political parties. That people have had enough of the
current system and are looking for something better. Today
was a day of local elections
People put their ideas forward in assemblies which have been
set up on many street corners and plazas -- anyone can speak
and is listened to, ideas are being harvested in a huge
document to send to the government, smaller groups of people
are just forming quiet conversation groups all over the city.
Its time to change to build a better society together,
democracy belongs to the people is the message people are
speaking Http://democraciarealya.esreports 600 cities globally
taking over their plazas in conversation
The government is really surprised by how peaceful and self
organised this movement is. Its not being led by the unions
but by the people and by hundreds of volunteers, cooking huge
cazuelas for people to share on the streets, drs and nurses
are volunteering and now lawyers are volunteering to help make
the movement legally stronger. People are cleaning up and
not littering `and everyone is amazed by the power of this.
There are young and old people joining in and our mates
talked about being able to see hope in the future. My thanks
go to the east for setting the tone.
Most amazing to me is the absolute lack of reporting about
this in the media here in the UK
Something is on the move.......Whats happening in your part of
the world ?

Subject: [aoh] Revolution in Madrid
Dear AOH friends,
Yesterday evening I was part of a most amazing experience that
deeply touched my heart....and gives me great hope for the future.
The Revolution in the streets of Madrid... on my way to Ceuta
as part of a systems thinking in education project, we had two
nights in Madrid and as it happened ...our hotel is just right
in the heart of the youth swaming and walking, chatting and
deeply conversing at all corners and plazas you can find.
Puerto del SOL and Pl.Del Carmen is packed with them and NO
ALCOHOL, No huge, emetionally arousing and popularizing BIG
speeches...as they simply state: Democracy and no
partitocracy... and the way they go about is the most
beautifully elaborated street Open Space, esp. of what I saw
at Pl.de <http://Pl.de>Carmen they gather around a tree or a
stone or so, all sitting in circule speak in - I guess -
consciously chosen low voice, those wanting to share a though
sign up, no shouting and fierce debate, just simply talking
and LISTENING one person after the other...circles of
conversations all over... ca. in 15-20 topics, and some more
spontaneous gatherings...no brutality, no harshness, no
alcohol, no liittering of an immense scale..
I just saw one " running away" of those youth who wanted to
disturb the gathering with flag from Franco's times, whom
these 'revolutionist ' wanted to go away... People of all ages
walk in the streets, listen in ( there are no butterflies
really, only theme keepers and also bumble bees but mostly
seriously dedicated young faces deeply caring about themes
like energy, climate change, education, politics, daily
realities, etc.
I feel so glad to have been excperiencing it and deeply
trustful....Agota Ruzsa
