Dear Friends, For me it has been a statement of trusting that there are more than one person who cares. And, I trust that pronouncing the statement of "Whoever comes..." would become a reality when I get my invitation strategy work in defining appropriate theme, context of invitation, and to whom the invitation is issued. Universe would disappear without the presence of Care... No self-organization, of course. Appreciatively,

I confess to a certain weirdness, to say nothing of incorrectitude, in my grammar All my teachers will attest that I didn't have a clue! But on this one, it actually was quite intentional. I felt the critical thing was The People - the collective, the Whole. As defined by "all those who care." That People IS the Right People.

An easy way to check is to reverse your sentence. i.e. The people who come are the right people.

I mostly call them "Tatsachen des Lebens" which translates pretty much into "Facts of Life"...and usually embellish them with sayings that have been around for a couple of hundreds of years showing that they are commonly accepted Facts of Life. The addition to "Whatever happens is the only thing that could have" in German is "Wenn der Hund nicht geschissen haette, haette er den Has' gefangen." What I really like is that most of us use the same wording as found in the Users Guide...hearing them (or seeing them hung up spaced around the circle of chairs) I instantly know its open space and feel comfortable and excited. There has been a ghastly attack, however, by some nincompoop editor of "Wave Rider" on the wholy grail of the "principles". While on page 71 the "First Principle" is given correctly as "Whoever comes is the right people", beginning with page 167 the wording of this principle (I will not write down the wording here!!)has been horribly maimed. Maybe its not too late to ask BK to immediately start a reprint with the appropriate wording and to recall the entire first edition of Wave.
