Harrison-- You have succeeded in getting me to think precisely where my difficulty is and where my live questions are. This is how far I have gotten this morning:
My difficulty with self organization in communities is with the notion that we have to start with an organization, or we have to create one. Or create a movement. The live question for me is how to overcome that manner of thinking; how to foster self-organization thinking. This might come down to finding or making poke holes in the fabric of community, where we can rip open the grey cloth with which we have covered self organization. Or it might mean pointing out (to whom?) that self organization is what is already going on: with the results we are currently getting; and with the possible results in the direction we want to go. :- Doug. * * ========================================================== 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
