Anne's Freudian slip (?) points to the essence. It's participation by principals that matters :-)
(From online dictionary: Principal . A main participant in a situation. . A person having a leading or starring role) With love Alan Hong Kong ----- Original Message ----- From: anne stadler To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 3:46 AM Subject: Principals, process, people Lest we forget: it is people connecting directly to Spirit (via the Law of Two Feet: take responsibility for what you love, what has heart and meaning!!) ...that is the essence of OST. The minimal patterns of OST are human: planetary-wide/beyond cultureso OST easily fosters the practical, material collective expression of Spirit, focused by an invitation. Re. Appreciative Inquiry: AI asks simple questions which help people re- member when Spirit animated their lives/workand cues them to bring the essence of that memory into the present moment. The combo is catalytic: opening a group to its own Spirit communication system, as each member asks What has heart and meaning? And shows up. AND I agree wholeheartedly with HHO: whats the ESSENCE? The irreducible minimum...no more...no less.
