Hello, dear friends.
As your current OSLIST Poet Laureate I wish to continue to create
found poetry, in the practice of one of our late great past Poet
Laureates, Ms. Laurel Doersam.
I sit with a conversation you have had and think about how it comes
apart and fits back together again in a new and poetic way.
I enjoy showing you back … yourselves.
Happy reading - Lisa Heft

*In Honor of the Lurkers*
________
Hey…
I am a lurker and sometimes contributor.
I am one of the frequent lurkers.
I am proud to be a frequent lurker.
Mostly lurk but occasionally comment.
Mostly lurking for many years.
A regular lurker.
Read the list. Daily.
Mostly silent, sometimes reading, often feeling and holding space.
Even trawling through pages and pages of repetitive posts on the
digest format doesn't keep me away.
Hey - I'm a regular lurker.
I'm a regular lurker and learner.
I enjoy the constant reminder about the core of OS principles.
I particularly enjoy the principles of open space as practiced by the
participants:
No admonishments about perceived “off topic” threads,
No shut-downs when (if) there’s a flurry of un-subscriptions due to
the above.
Such a positive list with world wide participants, so great.
I am in love and in debt to this beautiful community.
Enjoying…learning….practicing…
Lurk
Hey YES!
Hello
I’m a permanent lurker
Same here.
It's enlivening to see both the old hands and the new waves of Open
Space lovers.
A cool combination of experienced practitioners and new comers.
The experience, curiosity, wisdom and generosity demonstrated through
this list is very important to me, my work and life.
I love the living wisdom through this OSLIST.
I enjoy the reflections and the enthusiasm.
I enjoy the fresh perspectives offered by REAL OSers.
I feel connected to the community and I get inspiring ideas.
From time to time I cannot resist to send again a tiny contribution to
say hello I’m still there.
Hi.
Hi!
Hi, everybody!
I do lurk most of the time.
Sometimes the volume is over my capacity.
I sometimes comment.
Sometimes I am reading daily, sometimes weekly, sometimes I do not
check for a few months,
and then simply delete the build up.
Applying the law of two feet with my two eyes.
And then I start again
Definitely a lurker with random bits of input and responses.
I am a frequent 'participant' in the discussion - but almost always
only in my head.
And I have many very fruitful conversations with you all – in my head.
I engage in the conversation, try on different responses.
I keep thinking of writing, but then see all the wisdom on the list
and think, that’s it. Why repeat.
I always learn…and I know the next time I have a question there will
always be somebody to help answer it for me.
Hey,
Heyyyy,
Heeeeey.
Hey everyone,
Here it comes: I am a lurker.
I’m a passionate lurker.
Love to learn while lurking.
I am always here!
I appreciate the active participation of some players who represent
the thoughts of many others.
Always appreciate new voices and perspectives as well.
I feel connected to many of the topics that have been shared here in
this group.
Hey - I'm here too.
I lurk here too.
I lurk a lot.
Me too!
I am an active reader.
I READ every message, and learn a lot!
Yep, I mostly lurk.
Gratitude to still be amongst this community.
Grateful for our co-learning.
MASSIVELY GRATEFUL for all I have learned.
Always a grateful and admiring learner.
A learning-by-listening kind of lurk.
My active participation is in the listening / reading space at the rim.
Not posting often, but taking in the gifts of this list with much
gratitude and passing them on in the world.
And in applying the principles of practice in my own life a lot of the
time.
Often I have so many things to do
that I don’t give myself the time to sit down and write a thorough,
well thought reply.
Now that I write this,
I realize that it is not necessary to put the bar that high.
It does not always have to be of academic quality –
a simple sharing will do, too.
So this is a note to myself.
Hi!
Hey!
Hey OS List Folks
Another lurker.
I lurk often and read a lot!
I use the list and the amazing contributions as inspiration to remind
me why I love doing this.
And that there are other ways and people out there
doing things differently.
I think every single posting leads some us somewhere, even if those
places aren't so obvious.
I especially like when the search is fragile and the outcome uncertain.
Thank you for being and doing.
I am always fascinated by the conversation and learn tons.
Appreciating each kind word or gift exchanged or question asked.
I love people’s thinking, awarenesses, interests, divergences on this
list.
I occasionally offer my 2 bits... I guess that's what happens when
interest accrues on my 2 cents over time.
I love the sense of security and support.
I am curious - how do we really define LURKERS?
I don’t consider myself a lurker.
I don’t hide behind somewhere, ready to pounce.
I have no evil intentions.
I haven't yet gotten used to the modern meaning of "lurker" and don't
ever identify as one.
The definition seems to say that listening isn't active participation.
I’m no lurker.
I actively participate in reading, listening, and reflecting.
Oh thank you for saying that, thank you.
Lurk!
I am a happy lurker.
And I am not. I am … a witness.
Fully engaged and fully present.
For what is dialogue? It is someone speaking, and someone else who is
fully listening.
In live os events you see the butterflies.
A silent presence creating Space.
We are a community working with open space,
Therefore able or learning to be absolutely present
And absolutely invisible.
Thanks for the affirmation.
Sets a lovely tone.
Really resonates.
Hi, everybody.
Hello, world.
I lurk, regularly.
I am not ashamed. Sometimes I even post.
Then I lurk.
Listening has improved my practice for sure!
Has anyone noticed that it is almost
impossible to say "lurk" rapidly in succession?
Try it:
Lurk lurk lurk.
lurklurklurklurklurklurklurklurklurklurkllkllkkkk.
Argh.
Ah, I am so glad!
I’m still growing inside.
I’m a lurker and a learner.
I am a listener and a witness.
I am very happy to be part of this list.
I like this community.
Keep the work and the words flowing.
I lurk.
I may well be digging into the vast collective wisdom soon.
I lurk.
Whoa, that was hard to say. It feels good to get that off my chest.
Thanks for listening.
My pleasure.
Listening is my part in the dialogue.
