Re: [OSList] Fwd: Richard Rohr Meditation: Faith and Doubt Are Not Opposites

What a beautiful peace...or piece...on uncertainty and waiting...
True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.

Author Sue Monk Kidd has written eloquently about the disruption spiritual 
seekers often encounter in midlife and our resistance to it. She wonders:


What has happened to our ability to dwell in unknowing, to live inside a 
question and coexist with the tensions of uncertainty? Where is our willingness 
to incubate pain and let it birth something new? What has happened to patient 
unfolding, to endurance? These things are what form the ground of waiting. And 
if you look carefully, you’ll see that they’re also the seedbed of creativity 
and growth—what allows us to do the daring and to break through to newness. . . 
.



Creativity flourishes not in certainty but in questions. Growth germinates not 
in tent dwelling but in upheaval. Yet the seduction is always security rather 
than venturing, instant knowing rather than deliberate waiting. [2]

 Hi all,
Good news for all of us, who use Zoom: the new version, 5.3 (out today), has 
finally enabled a new Breakout rooms option which allows participants to move 
among breakout rooms.

That has removed the biggest roadblock towards hosting OST events in Zoom 
(there used to be a workaround, but it had serious issues). 
Technically it's very simple, when creating BRs, you just select the option 
"Let participants chose the room" + all participants must refresh to version 
5.3. That's all...

There is further room for improvement, e..g participants joining via mobile app 
cannot move among breakout rooms, but it's a minor issue compared to the big 
breakthrough...  
BR,

[OSList] where to rent decent sized boards/pinboards in Syney

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Dear OST Community in Sydney
good day!

I will be in Sydney to facilitate a workshop.

My client is having problems finding boards.

We needs the boards since we will have a lot of visualisation in participatory 
formats/methods.

Kindly advise where they could rent boards in Sydney.

Kind regards

[OSList] Developing a road map - OS plus other methods

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Dear colleagues 
I am interested in learning from anyone who has experienced facilitating a road 
mapping workshop whether using OS or other methods. 
What was your overall design? How many days? What important preparation was 
required?What were post workshop processes? Any tools you have used? What are 
the advantages and disadvantages? How would you differentiate a road map from a 
strategic plan? 
Looking forward to learning with you all. 
You may also email me directly. 
Thanks in advance. 
I wish you all well.

Brendon, we live and work in a land where water is precious.  Billabongs are 
often the life saving watering points when we travel much like an oasis in the 
desert.  
Billabongs are also parts of prior streams where the stream has taken a new 
track and the billabong is cut off from surface flows of water yet they are fed 
and nourished by underground water that seeps across the flood plane even when 
the surface stream is non existent.  Billabongs reminds me of the deep threads 
that are part of a community that sustain it in the hard times.  The billabong 
is the evidence that this deep nourishment exists. 
 Some of these concepts are very familiar with Australians in the subconscious. 
 It must be fun to see people discover the deeper meanings of billabong.  
For me I would use the the name as it will connect with peoples experience 
after that I would let the participants take billabong where they choose.  As 
with the “message sticks” that are the indigenous passport and map every 
group/tribe had different ways of describing the features of the map so to can 
the group do the same.
Just as in the song “click go the shears” the spirt of the “swagman” remains in 
the billabong to be heard now and then!
Billabong, just another way to have fun and connect with the community of 
concern.

A, the billabong….thanks of asking.
The billabong in Australia is a water hole or pond where water is usually found 
when the surrounding riverbed or land becomes dry - the last place to dry up in 
an otherwise arid landscape - often will have a few trees or bushes around it.  
I used to hear Aboriginal people speak of ‘knowing where the billabongs lay 
along certain routes or about meetings for initiation and other business held 
near certain billabongs. Also in the iconic Australian song, Waltzing Matilda, 
there is reference to the ‘swagman' (traveller/rover/hobo) who ‘camped by a 
billabong’.  The term is well known and recognised in both Aboriginal and 
‘whitefella’ culture. 
In my early days of facilitating Open Space, I began to use the term billabong 
as a place of ‘refreshment, relaxation, restoration, reflection, renewal etc’ 
where, having introduced the terms butterflies and bees (in Australia, I prefer 
the term bee to distinguish from the European introduced ‘bumble bee’, regarded 
as a pest and destroying habitats of native species), I speak about billabong 
‘spaces or places’ where you can go and rest up should you find that you need a 
break from the main meeting….maybe you’ve listened enough, talked enough, need 
some silence, need to think about an upcoming conversation that you’ve 
posted….find yourself a billabong space and refresh your energy. A billabong 
space is where you wish to create it…outside under a tree,  going for a stroll, 
lounging on a beanbag, in a corner of the room or in the bar, anywhere you feel 
comfortable to relax…varies according to where the OS meeting is held - I once 
had someone tell me they spent 20mins in the toilet as it was the only 
‘billabong’ space they could find! 
I have also had people report that one or two others came and joined them in 
their billabong and, guess what, the most wonderful thing happened….!
Billabongs are created, or not, in the very best of our self-organising 
tradition…just as the river meanders along its own course and leaves little 
pools of refreshment along the way for those who need it.

Dear Ariza,

on several occasions that I was involved in as facilitator, there were 
Action Planning/Action Space events a week or two weeks after the OST 
gathering (the 3.5 hour version without any prioritisation or harvesting 
of what had happend in the OST meeting but with everyone reading and 
augmenting the report sheets before they were distributed to all).

Several things I noticed:

--- fewer folks (about one third of those who had come to the OST event) 
came
--- new folks who had not been at the OST event came (my assumptions: 
they were invited by people who had been at the OST event because they 
were needed for whatever reason, they could not attend the original OST 
event for whatever reason)
--- the time after the exciting and creative OST event back in the 
everyday life of the organization appears to have had the character of a 
"reality check"  producing sustainable agreements on Next Steps to be taken
--- new projects for which I could not see any evidence in the Book of 
Proceedings that was produced at the end of the OST event.

In my approach there is a 3.5 hour Planning Meeting session before the 
OST event. One of the key tasks there is to identify who needs to be 
invited to the event to productively work on what people attending the 
Planning Meeting envisioned to be the outcome of the OST event under the 
Topic for the event that they had agreed on.
Of course, the folks planning the OST event are at the Planning Meeting 
and they also come to the event in the role of sponsor.
This is the prerequisite for having everyone needed to be invited.
No need to focus on the "leaders", especially if you work under the 
assumption that all who come "lead". If formald "leaders" dont show up, 
the "leaders" present in the OST event and in the Action Planning will 
come up with ingenious ways to get the formal "leaders" involved.

Liebe Christine,
jetzt muss Dir ja der Kopf rauchen mit so vielen Hinweisen, Ratschlägen, 
etc. Du bist auf jeden Fall die Richtige für dieses Projekt!

Greetings from Berlin where I am enjoying the quickly changing pastel 
hues of an early fall sunrise

Re: [OSList] what convergence after 3 OS events ?

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Hi Christine, Hi Michael 
I like the action space idea, the invite all who cares in addition to the hosts 
or who proposed an agenda. 
I am not sure if postponing the action planning to a later date will be the 
best option as it may dampen the enthusiasm generated by the OS sessions. But 
if someone else has tried this and would say it could work better than having 
it all in one go per OS event, then why not try this too. 
The convergence of ideas in the "action space" must involve the key decision 
makers. The "must" might be a wrong word to use in OS as we always say "invite" 
but since this will entail possible massive organizational change then it would 
be good to have all or most of the key decision makers in the action space. 
The documentation of each OS Sessions will be critical as this will help 
everyone follow the thread of the conversations in the action space. 
To give the documentation team adequate time put all outputs together and also 
for the hosts to comment on the encoded outputs - it may be best to have a gap 
between the last OS day of the 3rd batch to the convergence session. 
Or how do you plan to do the documentation? 
I think this is an amazing opportunity both for the company and you Christine. 
WOW!!

 Subject: [OSList] Nominations for Next Host - WOSonOS 2017
   

Just yesterday Carms asked the world (the OSList and all of us here in Manila) 
who might be interested in hosting 2017's WOSonOS.

Today at breakfast, people started asking me about my connections in Hawaii 
(I'm a resident there, though I live in south Taiwan), in reference to a 
potential location for next year.

Then, in the closing circle it hit me. One of my motivations, after all, for 
coming to this meeting was to locate my own way to stimulate organic 
cross-fertilizing conversations in my city. During these 2.5 days in Manila, 
instead, I'd focused on other types of conversations. 

Maybe it's time to bring this topic to life in a big way.

After the closing circle, and on through a group dinner tonight, I went around 
to share this idea of Tainan being offered as next years location, and all 
around I got "Yes!" and "I'll be there, what help do you need?" So, by the 
evening of the closing of WOSonOS 2016 I, along with Sharon Wu are ready to 
make a nomination.

We nominate Tainan, in the south of Taiwan as the location for the 2017 WOSonOS.

It's Taiwan's oldest city, a beautiful highly hospitable tropical city full of 
Japanese era buildings, thousands of temples and temple events, little winding 
alleys and all manner of street food. It's Taiwan's holiday destination by the 
ocean, and a welcoming destination for everyone in 2017.  

Looking forward to the ensuing discussion!
With respect and excitement,

Jane Lewis & Sharon Wu

[OSList] NOMINATIONS FOR NEXT HOST - WOSONOS 2017

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Dear all
Good day!
At the breakfast table  - with Allan Stewart (Australia), Gijs (Holland), Jane, 
Dick and Gail (Taiwan) we were discussing who the next host will be.
We decided to ask all of you - if you would be interested to volunteer as the 
host of the next WOSONOS in 2017. The nominations will start tomorrow morning, 
so this will give us all enough time to think about this opportunity.
It does not matter whether the country nominated is represented here. Last 
year, there was no one from the Philippines who attended the WOSONOS 2015 in 
Poland, but Sharon already expressed our interest to host the WOSONOS this 
year. 
Anyone interested?
We are having a great time here. The weather is lovely for breakfast 
outdoorsand a wonderful sharing...
I have posted some photos on my FB...
Love to all

Thank you dear Lisa! Can't wait to see you this week.Folks, here is the 
invitation again.Dear friends,It's time to try poetry on the oslist 
again.Harrison's first book about open space was NOT about the methodology. It 
was about the ways that people change their view of themselves and the world.He 
said we can "cross the open space" - from one understanding of ourselves and 
the world - into a new one. Later we learned that OST can help us do this, both 
individually and collectively!Have you experienced this in your life? Crossing 
from one understanding to another? Watching others do it? Using OST or not? 
What was the story?Will you write a short poem about it?Rules: 33 words or 
less. Any form is fine, rhyme or not rhyme, any language*. "When crossing open 
space..." is one way to get started, choose your way. This paragraph is 33 
words.The poetry celebration will run until June 21 - and then we can choose a 
poet to be Laureate of the list for a while.Please post your poem to the

Dear Lisa, dear Carol, dear Juliane, dear all,thank you for your quick and 
supporting response. wow, i was surprised how rapid your mails came.i had the 
pleasure to be invited to facilitate an one-and-a-half day open space for the 
"university of art and design, burg giebichenstein" in halle, saxony-anhalt. 
about 56 participants showed up for the first day with the theme "Let´s … 
Hello! Entkommen, Ankommen, Willkomenn gestalten." (sth like Let´s  … Hello! 
Shaping Escape, Arrival, Welcome.") … an open space initiated by students to 
discuss, contribute, getting involved and having a local stake in the so called 
"refugee crises" we are facing in europe nowadays. setting-up the event i got 
to know that several refugees signed up to participate and thought a few 
translations into arabic could be beneficial besides one person capable of 
translating into arabic.… well, not so many refugees showed up, and those who 
did, spoke either german or english, much better than i do … the participants 
came up with something like 26 issues (such as: how can integration be 
pleasurable; breaking the law; understanding arrival; enabling refugees to join 
the art studies; how to deal with exclusion; how to contribute … etc.). on the 
second day (action-planning) 13 concrete actions got set in motion (such as: 
fun raising; digital storytelling; platform for projects; installing a 
project-room; a survey on racial profiling …) … i found most of the issues and

What a beautiful poem skye...
True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong.

Re: [OSList] What's Open Space got to do with Group Relations?

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Dear all

On December 1 I dreamt that there will be world war 3.
I hope and pray today's conflicts will not exacerbate anymore. 
The presidential campaign in the US is not helping in de-escalating and 
reducing tensions.

 
Here is one important piece I read in FB from a Muslim who fears for their life 
- from Sofia Ali-Khan. 

"Dear Non-Muslim Allies,

I am writing to you because it has gotten just that bad.  I have found myself 
telling too many people about the advice given to me years ago by the late 
composer Herbert Brun, a German Jew who fled Germany at the age of 15:  “be 
sure that your passport is in order.”  It’s not enough to laugh at Donald Trump 
anymore.  The rhetoric about Muslims has gotten so nasty, and is everywhere, on 
every channel, every newsfeed.  It is clearly fueling daily events of targeted 
violence, vandalism, vigilante harassment, discrimination.  I want you to know 
that it has gotten bad enough that my family and I talk about what to keep on 
hand if we need to leave quickly, and where we should go, maybe if the election 
goes the wrong way, or if folks get stirred up enough to be dangerous before 
the election.  When things seem less scary, we talk about a five or a ten year 
plan to go somewhere where cops don’t carry guns and hate speech isn’t allowed 
on network television.  And if you don’t already know this about me, I want you 
to know that I was born in this country.  I have lived my whole life in this 
country. I have spent my entire adult life working to help the poor, the 
disabled and the dispossessed access the legal system in this country.  And I 
want you to know that I am devoutly and proudly Muslim. 
 
I am writing this in response to a non Muslim friend’s question about what she 
can do.  Because there is much that can be done in solidarity: 

If you see a Muslim or someone who might be identified as Muslim being 
harassed, stop, say something, intervene, call for help.

If you ride public transportation, sit next to the hijabi woman and say asalam 
‘alaykum (That means ‘peace to you.’).  Don’t worry about mispronouncing it; 
she won’t care.  Just say "peace" if you like.  She’ll smile; smile back.  If 
you feel like it, start a conversation.  If you don’t, sit there and make sure 
no one harasses her.  

If you have a Muslim work colleague, check in.  Tell them that the news is 
horrifying and you want them to know you’re there for them.  

If you have neighbors who are Muslim, keep an eye out for them.  If you’re 
walking your kids home from the bus stop, invite their kids to walk with you.

Talk to your kids.  They're picking up on the anti-Muslim message.  Make sure 
they know how you feel and talk to them about what they can do when they see 
bullying or hear hate speech at school.

Call out hate speech when you hear it—if it incites hatred or violence against 
a specified group, call it out: in your living room, at work, with friends, in 
public.  It is most important that you do this among folks who may not know a 
Muslim.

Set up a “learn about Islam” forum at your book club, school, congregation, 
dinner club.  Call your state CAIR organization, interfaith group or local 
mosque and see if there is someone who has speaking experience and could come 
and answer questions about Islam and American Muslims for your group.  They 
won’t be offended.  They will want the opportunity to do something to dispel 
the nastiness.  

Write Op Eds and articles saying how deplorable the anti-Muslim rhetoric has 
gotten and voice your support for Muslim Americans in whatever way you can.

Call your state and local representatives, let them know that you are concerned 
about hate speech against your Muslim friends and neighbors in politics and the 
media, that it is unacceptable and you want them to call it out whenever they 
hear it, on your behalf.

Out yourself as someone who won’t stand for Islamophobia, or will stand with 
Muslims—there is an awful lot of hate filling the airways, and there are an 
awful lot of people with access to the media and/or authority stirring the pot 
about Muslims.  Please help fill that space with support instead.  Post, write, 
use your profile picture or blog to voice your support.

Ask me anything.  Really.  Engage the Muslims in your life.  Make sure you 
really feel comfortable standing for and with your Muslim friends, neighbors, 
coworkers.  

I can tell you that in addition to the very real threat to their civil and 
human rights that Muslims are facing, we are dealing with a tremendous amount 
of anxiety.  While we, many of us, rely on our faith to stay strong, we are 
human.  This is not an easy time.  What you do will mean everything to the 
Muslim Americans around you.  Thank you for reading and bless you in your 
efforts.  Share freely.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you to our three colleagues who submitted a poems!  It's time to 
determine who earns the title of OSLIST Poet Laureate for the next six months.
Please reply to this email by the end of December 5th with a vote for your 
favorite poem from the three options below.  
Lucas CioffiOSLIST Poet Laureate, Summer-Fall 2015


Poem #1

Open space is a quick brown foxjumping over thatlazy dog Control.


Poem #2
I feel deeply touched 
About everything that is happening My deepest feelings goes to the family of 
the deceased
Principles like love, peace, respect…are they lost?Always seemed right to love 
and respect every soul , every living being!Rises my inner voice against all 
kind of hate and evilIs this the world we want to build?Say no to hate, say no 
to fear, say yes to love, and please respect all kinds of being!


Poem #3

Someone may say, ‘What can one person do?, when others are so evil?’One person 
can step forward.Just as in Open Space.Speaking to passion and 
responsibility.We’ve seen it happen.
In Open Space, we have learned to notice the differences.The one person.The 
diversity.
One person can step forward.Name a topic.Submit a poem.Hold a session with just 
themselves attending it.
In Open Space, we welcome that.We invite it.Even one person stepping 
forwardstepping into their passion and responsibilitycan shift an organization. 
A community. A way of thinking.
Someone said, 'Only one person on this list submitted a poem.'
One person.Stepping forward.Speaking to passion and responsibility.
What can one person do?Step forward into the silence.Breathe.Open up her 
arms.Invite difference.Embody the simple fact thateach person matters.
One person can do the most loving thing it is in her heart to do.

Re: [OSList] good questions

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Some more questions 
What opportunities for change do the current situation offer to us?
Going beyond sympathy: how can we respond with empathy? 
In the cycle of  violence - who are we? In what way are we a part of this?

My favorite question is what role have we all played in creating this crisis?

i.e. sitting by while funding from global oil industry partners outside our 
national judicial systems funded religious extremism in many countries now 
experiencing turmoil over silent decades, our own govts created instability 
through financial support of abusive dictatorships, wars, and occupation, and 
arms were transported into Syria over supposedly NATO controlled borders under 
various guises, etc. over several years while our mainstream media and elected 
officials failed to tell us loud and clear, but while Syrian exiles were trying 
to sound that alarm, etc. 

How can our new knowledge about all these connections and our own part in it 
give us a sense of power and commitment to actually change things using our 
democratic or other  social institutions like our faith communities now that we 
do know? 

When people of faith and ethical motivation engage themselves and take 
responsibility for changing things, the elected and other institutions 
implicated in these crises will see permanent and deep reform. Not before.

Good luck. Yours is a very worthwhile project!

10 HAIKUS on, of, for, about Open Space

by: Carmela Ariza,

1

Structured communications

Contrives flow of thought

Wisdom grows when freely sought


 
2

Interfering by resting

Distance ain't distant

Absence – powerful presence


 
3

Movement creates openings

Comings and goings

Persons – you are the blessings


 
4

Speech and breath fills the spaces

Silence evokes truth

Brilliance shines through all pauses


 
5

Circles expand or contract

Size does not matter

Geometry is chemistry


 
6

In fertile open spaces

Thought seeds germinate

Ideas grow in due time


 
7

Who’s there is not the question

Knock, knock is senseless

We count less on positions


 
8

No table to make things stable

With chairs, without chairs

Our passion gets us going


 
9

We don’t start with promises

Freeing premises

Yields a lot of surprises


 
10

Oh-pen, awe-pen, open space

Ahs, ohs, ums, and oms

Clickety-clack, hush no more

 True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.___

Dear Open Space-ers
I finally found the time to write Haikus...
Instead of the traditional haiku format of 3 lines of 5-7-5 syllables...My 
haikus are 7-5-7...apologies to those who are haiku lovers...
Thanks Lisa for getting me to write haikus...My last ones were written ages 
ago...when I did not have any white hair yet...
Here are my haikus...

Laureate.An OSLIST Poet Laureate’s honor is to hold space for poetry on the 
OSLIST for the next six or so months.Thank you for your wonderful 
contributions, all.And there was more happening than what you may have thought. 
I will show you.
___
First, a haiku response from Chris Altmikus, who selected my invitation as his 
choice for all five of his dots. I had not noticed that this part of my 
invitation was like the first line of a haiku: 
Ready?
Here
we
go. 

___
Aha! Poetry is everywhere, if we notice the poetry all around us. As Florian 
does, below.
Next, a haiku response from Tenneson Woolf, who noted he had missed the 
deadline for writing a haiku:

Damn! I missed deadline.
Would have written, otherwise.
My dots are below.

___
And now, here is my haiku response to all of you who responded:

Thank you, dear poets -
some who knew you were, and some
who suprised yourselves.

___

Here are the results of the Spring 2015 OSLIST Poetry Contest.
About how less is sometimes more, when Open Space is used.
Our new Poet Laureate is (drumroll, please…)
Lucas Cioffi !
Here is Lucas’ haiku.

___


Space  __   __

And here are the other lovely contributions. Whoever comes is the right person. 
Be prepared to be… surprised….

[OSList] The Edge in Open Spaces

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Dear OS colleagues, I would like to share with you a poem I wrote today!
The Edge in Open Spaces

by: Carmela Ariza

5:53PM, Manila, 30 January 2015


 
Sitting by the lake

Where no water is seen

Still, our thirst is quenched


 
We were frightened

Anxious as we sat by the edge

As it was far from our usual scheme


 
Were we on the bum?

Journeying together with very rough provisions

Not a table, nor a slide to slip into 


 
I can’t deny it

The edge indeed

Made us feel edgy!


 
It’s not that this was our first

We’ve been by this lake before

Yet now we see and feel and hear


 
The open space that breaks us open

As disconcerting as it may seem

It felt good for the many


 
I have to admit, that although

To each one - time and space were given

The edge drives through in kairos, never in chronos moments!

THE MANY FACES OF SILENCE

by: Carmela Ariza31 December 2015, Panglao,Bohol, 10:22AM


 
INTENTIONAL SILENCE


 
I seek the woods

And the woods find me

I listen to the log

Lying, waiting

Eventual decay 

In the offing


 
PUNCTUATED SILENCE


 
Storms 

Bring me to a standstill

Blood 

Rushing through my viens

Dread

Anxiously anticipating


 
DEAFENING SILENCE


 
Whirring thoughts

In a constant refrain

Burying oneself 

In work or laughter

This is a sentence 

Without reprieve


 
VEXED SILENCE


 
Incensed

Enraged

Outraged

Furious

!*@#^)($@

I walk away


 
PENSIVE SILENCE


 
Lost in deep thought

Questioning 

Deliberate pondering

Wistful longing

Freefalling insights

Plucking wisdom


 
MOONSTRUCK SILENCE


 
Nervous but ecstatic

Consumed with desire

Smitten kitten

Tickled teakettle

Frolicking in the rapids

Restless, definitely notloveless


 
HEARTBROKEN SILENCE


 
Exposed

Vulnerable

Pricked

Betrayed

Inconsolable

Silent


 
EMERGENT SILENCE


 
Nine months in waiting

Coming out

Being true to oneself

Release and deliverance

Reaping, fruiting

Healing, in the fullness of time


 
SACRED SILENCE


 
In deep sorrow or deep pain

A child’s embrace givescomfort

In contemplation

A coming home to the core

In harmony with nature

Oneness


 
THANKFUL SILENCE


 
Forbearance in difficulttimes

Appreciation for what givesrise to my existence

Reaching out to help theneedy

Grateful surrender

Accepting the present

Here and now



I wish everyone OPEN SPACES FOR SILENCE THE WHOLE YEAR!
BLESSINGS to all!

THE MANY FACES OF SILENCE

by: Carmela Ariza31 December 2015, Panglao,Bohol, 10:22AM


 
INTENTIONAL SILENCE


 
I seek the woods

And the woods find me

I listen to the log

Lying, waiting

Eventual decay 

In the offing


 
PUNCTUATED SILENCE


 
Storms 

Bring me to a standstill

Blood 

Rushing through my viens

Dread

Anxiously anticipating


 
DEAFENING SILENCE


 
Whirring thoughts

In a constant refrain

Burying oneself 

In work or laughter

This is a sentence 

Without reprieve


 
VEXED SILENCE


 
Incensed

Enraged

Outraged

Furious

!*@#^)($@

I walk away


 
PENSIVE SILENCE


 
Lost in deep thought

Questioning 

Deliberate pondering

Wistful longing

Freefalling insights

Plucking wisdom


 
MOONSTRUCK SILENCE


 
Nervous but ecstatic

Consumed with desire

Smitten kitten

Tickled teakettle

Frolicking in the rapids

Restless, definitely notloveless


 
HEARTBROKEN SILENCE


 
Exposed

Vulnerable

Pricked

Betrayed

Inconsolable

Silent


 
EMERGENT SILENCE


 
Nine months in waiting

Coming out

Being true to oneself

Release and deliverance

Reaping, fruiting

Healing, in the fullness of time


 
SACRED SILENCE


 
In deep sorrow or deep pain

A child’s embrace givescomfort

In contemplation

A coming home to the core

In harmony with nature

Oneness


 
THANKFUL SILENCE


 
Forbearance in difficulttimes

Appreciation for what givesrise to my existence

Reaching out to help theneedy

Grateful surrender

Accepting the present

Here and now



I wish everyone OPEN SPACES FOR SILENCE THE WHOLE YEAR!
BLESSINGS to all!

Re: [OSList] Fwd: Guerilla Open Space?

I love the idea of the guerrilla open space…

The way Tom wrote his experience already fired me up!  

Perhaps if the risks are not as high - and the chance to generate or exacerbate 
conflict is low - this is a good thing to do…

Cheers,

Reminds me about the conference where the streaming twitter feed was projected

could not see. Imagine a tweeted call to abandon the keynote and gather down 
the hall. : ) I know Tom's idea is more subtle and diplomatic.

Tony Judge had a similar idea to Tom's posted in his majestic website Laetus in 
Praesens. I don't know of a case study tho.


I guess the hotel bar where Harrison hangs out is where a lot of disgruntled 
participants tend to show up. Is that where the open space idea really emerged?

Hi Peggy,

Thinking about the NCDD conference, I got the idea for guerilla Open Space 
to be used in conferences where you want to open the space in the middle of a 
too-organized gathering.  It would involve a central website with instructions 
on what to do and why.  It would involve passing out cards with messages like 
Is there something that you'd really like to talk about or do here that the 
agenda here is preventing you from talking about or doing?  Would you like 
to be learning, contributing, and having more fun here? with the web address 
on it.  Tweets might also be used.  Then, on the main website it would tell 
people about how to do a guerilla open space, referring them perhaps to 
meetup.com to arrange places to talk.

Or something like that.  Have you heard of such  thing before?  Do you have 
any thoughts/responses?

Hugs,
Tom

Re: [OSList] Opening Space

[Carmela Ariza via OSList]

Hello Daniel

thanks for sharing this concept of emptiness….

yes, emptiness is not nothingness…
it is still something 
but that something is perhaps
beyond what we could ever imagine
and we need the space to allow that emptiness to be
for the something else's to come into being…

cheers,

i shared this with tricia the other day.  maybe it fits here:

in explaining the buddhist concept of emptiness, mingyur rinpoche (tibetan 
teacher) points out that they're not talking about nothingness or the void...


while the buddha did teach that the nature of the mind -- in fact, the nature 
of all phenomena -- is emptiness, he didnt' mean that their nature was truly 
empty, like a vacuum.  He said it was emptiness, which in the tibetan language 
is made up of two words: tongpa-nyi. the word tongpa means empty, but only 
in the sense of something beyond our ability to perceive with our senses and 
our capacity to conceptualize.  maybe a better translation would be 
inconceivable or unnamable.  the word nyi , meanwhile, doesn't have any 
particular meaning in everyday tibetan conversation.  but when added to 
another word it conveys a sense of possibility -- a sense that anything can 
arise, anything can happen.  so when buddhists talk about emptiness, we don't 
mean nothingness, but rather an unlimited potential for anything to appear, 
change, or disappear.

sounds like open space to me.  anything can happen.  nothing is necessary.  

and to your last question, daniel, for what it's worth:  for me, the law of two 
feet has always seemed like the reciprocal of the principles, especially 
whenever/whatever/when it's over.  the latter point to the vastness of 
everything/everytime that's possible, and remind us we can't control it.  the 
law of two feet reminds us to practice within that vastness, to pay attention 
and keep moving.

However, I have heard from sponsors and facilitators that

I love the idea of the guerrilla open space…

The way Tom wrote his experience already fired me up!  

Perhaps if the risks are not as high - and the chance to generate or exacerbate 
conflict is low - this is a good thing to do…

Cheers,

Reminds me about the conference where the streaming twitter feed was projected 
behind the keynote speaker, showing real-time critiques of his speech that he 
could not see. Imagine a tweeted call to abandon the keynote and gather down 
the hall. : ) I know Tom's idea is more subtle and diplomatic.

Tony Judge had a similar idea to Tom's posted in his majestic website Laetus in 
Praesens. I don't know of a case study tho.


I guess the hotel bar where Harrison hangs out is where a lot of disgruntled 
participants tend to show up. Is that where the open space idea really emerged?

Hi all,

I got the query below from my friend Tom Atlee. It seemed like a great question 
for the list. Since Tom isn’t on it, I told him that I’d forward any responses.

appreciatively,
Peggy

Hi Peggy,

Thinking about the NCDD conference, I got the idea for guerilla Open Space 
to be used in conferences where you want to open the space in the middle of a 
too-organized gathering.  It would involve a central website with instructions 
on what to do and why.  It would involve passing out cards with messages like 
Is there something that you'd really like to talk about or do here that the 
agenda here is preventing you from talking about or doing?  Would you like 
to be learning, contributing, and having more fun here? with the web address 
on it.  Tweets might also be used.  Then, on the main website it would tell 
people about how to do a guerilla open space, referring them perhaps to 
meetup.com to arrange places to talk.

Or something like that.  Have you heard of such  thing before?  Do you have 
any thoughts/responses?

Hugs,
Tom

Re: [OSList] Opening Space

Hello Daniel

thanks for sharing this concept of emptiness….

yes, emptiness is not nothingness…
it is still something 
but that something is perhaps
beyond what we could ever imagine
and we need the space to allow that emptiness to be
for the something else's to come into being…

cheers,

i shared this with tricia the other day.  maybe it fits here:

in explaining the buddhist concept of emptiness, mingyur rinpoche (tibetan 
teacher) points out that they're not talking about nothingness or the void...


while the buddha did teach that the nature of the mind -- in fact, the nature 
of all phenomena -- is emptiness, he didnt' mean that their nature was truly 
empty, like a vacuum.  He said it was emptiness, which in the tibetan language 
is made up of two words: tongpa-nyi. the word tongpa means empty, but only 
in the sense of something beyond our ability to perceive with our senses and 
our capacity to conceptualize.  maybe a better translation would be 
inconceivable or unnamable.  the word nyi , meanwhile, doesn't have any 
particular meaning in everyday tibetan conversation.  but when added to 
another word it conveys a sense of possibility -- a sense that anything can 
arise, anything can happen.  so when buddhists talk about emptiness, we don't 
mean nothingness, but rather an unlimited potential for anything to appear, 
change, or disappear.

sounds like open space to me.  anything can happen.  nothing is necessary.  

and to your last question, daniel, for what it's worth:  for me, the law of two 
feet has always seemed like the reciprocal of the principles, especially 
whenever/whatever/when it's over.  the latter point to the vastness of 
everything/everytime that's possible, and remind us we can't control it.  the 
law of two feet reminds us to practice within that vastness, to pay attention 
and keep moving.

Hi Karl,

What I am really, really interested in doing with others here is
exploring the all open space all the time idea.

Harrison brings this concept up quite a lot, most recently in the
video interview he posted just this week. 

The Law of 2 Feet and the Whatever happens principle as they
pertain to all open space all the time are 2 items of particularly
keen interest. 

Daniel

According to the idea, intent=result, my intent in posting

Likewise, I am getting what I want, or: at least what my

As a result of this thread, I'm planning to actively play
  with: 


 * dispassionate passion; 
 * passionate dispassion; 
 * irresponsible responsibility, and 
 * responsible irresponsibility.

Dear Harrison, 

as for #2 my take is that there is no such thing as the
