Welcome out of lurking, George -- Interesting the quote you mention from Covey. It is referring to the heart of meditation, Asian martial arts, indeed all contemplative practices. In my work with native communities, wisdom traditions, and shamanic societies -- it is as we say a "given"!

This then is my first post! I have been listening to the audio version of Steven Covey's new book "The 8th Habit". Whilst listening I re-discovered one of Steven's famous quotes: "Between stimulus and response there lies a space, in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response, in those choices lie our growth and our happiness" -. Steven Covey Reflecting on this quote and my personal, although limited, experience with Open Space, I was amazed how effective the Open Space process is at increasing the "space between stimulus and response" in the particapant in the process. Thereby, increasing their Respons-ability. Any thoughts or observations?
