Hello All! Michael, Esther, Birgitt -- great comments.
I intentionally choose a path building trailblazing in terms of my leadership, with full intention, acting on and working with. The world around us is crying out and my practice is to translate that into path building. This list and Open Space Technology are part of my tools in pathbuilding. I use these tools to pursue meaning in life in the way it has meaning for me. I have worked for years in areas of human rights, peaceful expression of difference, and diversity and all of that simply means that I know a whole lot less than I thought I did in the beginning. What I do witness is people who truly want to unleash their natural curiosity and hearts that want so much to do the right thing. I discriminate I prefer triple brownie ice cream to vanilla. And I know that I have racist, ageist, and sexist views I am a product of a country that in 1911 had an Order In Council to bar people of dark skin from coming into the country. Fortunately, that order did not pass. I attempt to practice awareness in my assumptions, judgments -- and sometimes walk right into myself! Birgitt I acknowledge you for expressing yourself as it offers a genuine opportunity to connect with the heart. I see no right and wrong here. For me the path is the edge of knowing and not-knowing. We just show up, touching with our hearts and we fill find a way. It is not about me it is about a way to work with others. What emerges is only as good as the quality of the relationship. cheers Judi Judith Richardson, M.A. www.ponoconsultants.com www.emergentfeminine.com Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (902) 434-6695 * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu, Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
