Craig -- Love the poem. And I find the serendipitous ridiculousness of writing poems about a "meeting methodology" particularly appealing. Maybe somebody has done it, but I have yet to see an "Ode to Real Time Strategic Change," A Sonnet in honor of Appreciative Inquiry, or blank verse charting a Future Search. But then again it may not be about a "meeting methodology?"

This is the world it creates for me and in me. I hope you enjoy the sense and nonsense of it. Thanks, Craig A Poem of Open Space Craig Gilliam 10/3/06 The dance of nonsense, in and out of time, the swirling mass matters, the deep rhythms, no one knows, but all know, unspoken, rising waters, sinking tides, the Spirit moving over the deep, order from chaos, chaos from order, silence, out of the whirlwind, out of the fragments of disconnects, a subtle voice emerges, whispers, shouts, a new song, a new order, new connections, playing with and through us; Is it all for naught, or is it naught that opens the way? * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
