Thank you Funda

I will be there to help make this year's WOSONOS in Istanbul a particularly
special celebration of Harrison's life and the gift of Open Space that he
gave us.

[OSList] Fwd: WOSonOS 2023 planning meeting online on May 22

Dear Jo

I have just booked myself into the WOSONOS in Berlin - a few short weeks
away - cannot wait to connect with you, all your co-inviters and indeed
everyone. Bilbao refreshed my soul last year (thank you Gentza and all,
once more) - and I am looking forward to another 'deep cleanse' soon!

For advance notice, I plan to run a session on 'the poetry of open space'.
So might I invite people now, if you so wish, to begin framing some words,
some lines, some lyrics, some rhymes & rhythms to participate in the
session... Or you might want to wait until our clan gathering starts before
putting pen to paper / finger to keyboard / tap to phone... Either or
whichever way, please treat this as another small thread to touch and
savour the anticipation over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile - here's a poem I wrote a few days ago - just for your interest...













*Golden memories Straw filigree filaments fly off in the wake of the
speeding lorry, Transporting bales and bales of fine golden straw, Dusting
the motorway with the remnants Of hot cornfields, dried in the summer sun.
I wonder how far this lorry would have to go Before all its cargo has been
whisked and spun away by the breeze of momentum. And then I wonder if my
golden memories, like the straw, are inexorably Flying away too As I
journey through my life? *



Take care all
