Chris, It's fun to watch words and ideas evolve. You said you like "being happy without knowing," which differed a bit from Andrew's “being happy with not-knowing." Both remind me of the guidance of a contemporary Zen teacher to keep "don't know mind." "Only don't know" is one of his favorite sayings. However we phrase it, there is vast open space in the mind that does not know.

These days as I strive to facilitate in language that young children can understand, simple words are treasures indeed. Enjoyed the blog link too. Thanks.

I sure picked up a few gems. One which I loved was “being happy with not-knowing” which I’ve blogged about: http://www.anecdote.com.au/archives/2006/02/being_happy_wit.html Anyway, ever onwards, I was wondering: What have been the largest self-organising breakout group sizes for sessions raised in OS that you might have seen? (I think there has been some research into the sizes of naturally occurring groups and what their natural limits are…?) I will go back now to trying to be happy with not-knowing.
