Dear Doug, dear everyone Thanks for putting the question out and thanks for sharing your answers. I will share a few of my thoughts about this. I think we all live in open space although not all are aware of it and appreciate it, not in every situation anyway. I have noticed within myself that I have learnt to appreciate the NOW more over these years of working with OST. As an independent consultant I do experience periods of chaos/confusion. I have noticed that it is easier to live with this constant dance between chaos and order. Deep inside, I know and understand that something new and maybe even better will emerge when everything seems to be breaking down.
I think that in order to develop my work and my life I have to find and appreciate that open space in all of what I do. It has become clear for me that I have to start within myself and my close relations, to be able to better assist others in finding and appreciating their open spaces. The principles are "handy" in this work!
