Tova and all--
The heart of your talk for me was in these words at about 16:30 in:
“we've achieved a lot; we are in the growing business of making
social living systems and not mechanical system. In mechanical
system, we must start with clear goals and clear vision and
clear objectives and we proceed to get them. In a living system
we are preoccupied with being and belonging before we set
objectives. A living system will try to root itself, preferably
in nourishing environment, and to take time to make sure it's
alive before it figures out its destination, and before the
horizon is clear.”
This clarifies something I have never been able to put into words and
metaphors before. It carries the thought further, and tells us what OS
and all true conversation and meeting (see the work of Martin Buber) is
about: birthing a living system.
This is a step off into wide open space...and we find solid ground
beneath our foot. Anybody want to take this another step?
Tova, do you have similar writings available somewhere?
