Anne Stadler asked me to send this lovely, poetic piece on. Enjoy! Peggy P.S. Just returned from 25 days in Siberia. I will write about the experience but have some internal processing to do first. ----- Original Message ----- From: anne stadler To: Peggy Holman Sent: Friday, July 20, 2001 3:28 PM Subject: FW: Osprey & Open Space.. Nice, huh! Pass it on! ---------- From: anniesoeren...@aol.com Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 14:41:33 EDT To: annes...@home.com Subject: Osprey & Open Space.. Hi Anne, Sitting here on my porch which ( lucky woman that I am) overlooks the Clark Fork River,reflecting on our conversation a few minutes ago and Papa Osprey ( he has a nest down the way) ran reconaissance by the eddy to check on the fishing. He was gliding on the various air currents with no apparent effort AND no apparent direction...kind of traversing the random and somewhat chaotic currents up there... Then he froze and did a dead fall drop from 50ft to pull a trout ( I think) out to take home to mom and the kids down the way. Hm-m-m-m, much less random than I thought... Made me think about how important it is for us to be able to glide on the creative currents that we each can bring to a process. Like the Osprey, we need some open space in order to spread our wings wide enough to capture those currents! Warmest regards, Annie __________________________________________________________________ Annie Soerensen Fund-raising and Organizational Development Consultant 1923 E.
