Hello, friends - As you may be able to tell, I can catch up with my emails in pockets of time between client work and family care and life. And time sweeps forward in between!
Elwin I wanted to thank you about your lovely earlier message regarding my becoming the current OLIST Poet Laureate-ness. Harold, I want to thank you for all the care you provide for us on this list, all the many things we see and do not see that show your intentional, skilled, knowledgeable and thoughtful work helping us communicate with each other in this big OSLIST circle. Michael I am so honored I wound up in your Spam folder ! A special place where I also have a few of you OSLISTers whose emails randomly somehow decided they like it there in that cozy folder. I visit it each day to see if you are there (there are three of you there) and move you gently over to my Inbox. I think somehow it is a way your emails wanted more hands-on contact. And who doesn’t? Thanks for always letting us know Harold what you can and cannot do, what we ourselves can help to do, and what we can practice letting go - maybe seeing some of these things as an interesting part of this server? technology? mechanism’s? personality. Guess what? I have made many interesting costumes for various festivities over the years. And one year I hosted a “Food as Fashion” charity fundraiser for community food banks - a costume contest. Because I was the host I had to make a glamorous dress. So I made a dress out of… Spam. It was actually very strange and smelled odd but hey, I was indeed glamorous. Or Spamorous, perhaps. So maybe there are several reasons my emails like to go into your spam folder, Michael. And Michael, thank you so much for your warm invitation to visit Berlin again some time in the future, for one of these different workshops I offer about facilitation. This month’s London trip is full full full as I am doing two workshops then returning to do two workshops back in the US immediately after. It would be such a pleasure to return to Berlin for mutual learning some time in the future. The way I get around the world is either I am facilitating - working for a client who brings me to their country - or someone invites and hosts me (often in partnership with a university or other organization) to come and teach - to give a workshop or two in their country. (A deep bow to Martin and Cecilia in Argentina, to Juan Luis an Laura and others in Chile, to Jerry and his team in Minnesota, to Phelim and Matilda and the Improbable team, and to the lovely others who have hosted me in their countries and communities). So perhaps in future we can look at what workshop topics and possible dates and locations and resourcing models may work for me to return to teach in Berlin. And we can share a lovely beverage in that great cafe where you have the Stammtische. Here’s to learning with and from each other, and to the future. And to fabulous Spam fashions. Perhaps I have inspired someone’s next art and fashion project…?
