The events in Paris have caught our attention. However, with deepest
respect and sympathy for my Parisian friends (Christine in
particular), the simple truth is that the human toll (127 and

You can name them as well as I.
And Mr Holland, President of France, declaring, “This is an act of
War,” and “promising” retaliation of whatever sort -- is quite
understandable. Of course he also (according to the American Press)
closed the borders. Again understandable, but curious.... especially
when it appears that some substantial portion of the combatants
(enemy) are French. Somehow the enemy is us.... This is not your
grandfather’s war.
Or Something.
Any human being who claims to understand what is going on, and feels
competent to prescribe the specific solution (close the borders, open
the borders, ban the immigrants, welcome the immigrants, shoot them
all, whatever) is, in my humble judgment, quite mad.
I, however, will venture one affirmative (positive) statement. We
(That’s all 7 ½ Billion of us) are in a Transformative Moment. How
long it will last, and what the end result will be, I don’t have a
clue. But I do believe that it will take all 7 ½ billion of us,
working together, to solve the issues at hand. Tall order, to be sure.
Then again, we have had some several hundred thousand years’ practice.
And to date – despite all odds – we’re still here.
And the magic sauce?
I do know some things it’s (special sauce) NOT: a special program,
ideology, methodology, tool, technique, intervention, practice,
discipline...
It is.... something that has been around a lot longer, much more basic
and fundamental.
You guessed it. Self Organization.
We did not invent it. Certainly didn’t create it. But we can help, I
do believe.
Open Space wherever, whenever, however, with whom-so-ever as often as
you can. If nothing else, it will give you something to do during this
Transformative Moment.
