Dear Harrison, Dear OST Community, I was facilitating a meeting with Open Space Technology near Berlin on March 16th, at one point in the venue, in front of the Agenda Board, in the middle of the notepads, participants were eating and working, dancing and juggling. All at the same time. That's when I thought of Harrison. Turns out that we were actually saying goodby. I admit I worked harder than he always advised. But I want share with you some of the feedback I got: "we created a flower garden together", "my only reality was the time here, I thought of nothing else", "I got out of the life we were stuck in, I became alive, my space expanded", "the method is beautiful and organic". Thanks Harrison, you always generously and modestly shared your knowledge. You were always there when I needed some information and support from you. Thanks for saying that "anybody with a good heart" can do this job. Open Space Technology didn't only change my life but also clarified where I want to stand, what I want to do. You know, we will host World Open Space on Open Space this year in Istanbul. We will have a chance to come together, talk and think about you. We will hold the space you left for us gracefully, respectfully.
