Eva—you are sort of right. But the truth is that it took me a long time to 
actually figure out what was happening in Open Space. If I truly have.

And I think that you came up with this ahead of 80 - since Open Space has been 
around in it’s Technology form approx 30 years if Im not totally wrong :-)

I think the clue lies in the wonderful word "self".

 

We are the selves that organise.

 

Beautiful.

There comes a moment here in Maine when the season turns. It is not a gentle, 
creep up on you quietly, sort of thing. It is an all at once, very suddenly, 
kind of thing. There is a change in the light, a different smell on the wind, a 
chill on the air. Fall. It’s here. Ending. Beginning. Now. 

 

A time of reflections.

 

It has taken me a lifetime of living. But. I have learned two things, or maybe 
better, come to two conclusions. 1) All Systems are open. 2) All systems are 
self organizing.

 

All Systems are Open is a complicated way of saying that everything is 
connected, including all the things that aren’t really a “thing,” which we 
don’t even know about. The net result is an infinite complexity which is 
completely unthinkable. And what you can’t think, you surely can’t control. So 
much for THAT vain hope.

 

All Systems are self Organizing -- I know of no way of actually proving this 
one, but it does seem a natural concomitant of the first conclusion. If you 
find yourself in an infinitely complex and interconnected environment, where 
nobody is, or can be, in control, such systems as are there, must have pretty 
well gotten themselves together all by themselves. Of course there are a number 
of people who are sure that God did it, and personally I don’t have any real 
problem with that. But ascribing it all to divine agency doesn’t help us very 
much. We still don’t have much control and the systems around us, including 
those we think we organized, have a source other than our selves.  

 

Life under the conditions described above (Open, Self Organizing Systems) can 
seem a little peculiar to some people, but it is not so much irrational as 
different. Certain “strange” things always seem to happen. For example, Whoever 
comes are the right people, whatever happens is the only thing that could have, 
wherever it happens is the right place, whenever it happens is the right time, 
and when it is over it is over. Always works out  that way, so I’ve found.

 

All this appears conducive to a very passive existence. Not much for us to do. 
And the truth of the matter is that doing less always seems to accomplish a 
great deal more. That said, there is one thing that we really have to do. 
Follow the Law of Two Feet! Strange sort of law which says – If ever you find 
yourself in a situation in which you are neither learning or contributing, you 
must move your two feet until you find yourself a new place where you can do 
the one, the other, or preferably, both. In a few words: Follow your passion 
and take responsibility for it.

 

It took 80 years. Fun!

 

Harrison
