I send love to all who are feeling from Chris' transition. It is because of Chris that I am here with you and that I came "home" when I discovered Open Space and the community of this listserve.
In 2002ish, I was working at a camp for self-discovery with Chris (I was previously his son's teacher). He kept bringing me these printed pages of emails about self organized learning environments. It was delicious and matched so many of my own visions and dreams of what learning could be/should be. I asked where the emails were coming from -- I wanted them to show up in my inbox! Turns out it was this Open Space listserve. I am profoundly grateful for that life changing introduction, for the opportunity to host, work and play with someone who embodied this way of living and believing in the wisdom of people so profoundly. Chris was masterful at seeing the beauty and brilliance in others, and opening the space for magic to happen. I wrote some reflections about his passing at my blog <http://easilyamazed.com/2017/he-carried-a-vision-of-love-alive-in-the-world/> . Rolling with the tears, flooded with the profoundness of all he contributed during his life...
