Re: [OSList] A Preface

[Michael Herman via OSList]

I think your preface covers a lot of good ground, Harrison.

I thought this was classic:  "I am a storyteller.  To be truthful..."  You
tell both sides like nobody I've ever known!  Not sure everyone will read
it as humorously as I did.  Maybe it wasn't even intended that way.  But I
think you could leave out "To be truthful."  Just be truthful, without
narrating it, without taking that step back to observe, only four words
into the piece.

Where Birgitt picks out "Spirit disappears," I think she's on to
something.  Might make that, "When Spirit eludes me/us..." or "When Spirit
escapes..."  I guess I like the latter.  It fits better with Ending.  And
it sparks us to some wondering about where it might go "to" in those
moments when it seems to disappear.

A couple other small word things... "It is true, multiple words..." didn't
capture how many words... maybe "While many words are spoken..." or "A
multitude of words might be spoken..."  And in the opening of the next
paragraph, I'd say "This "strange event"..." rather than "The..."

I appreciate Birgitt's thought about ending with the "warning" paragraph,
and "be careful."  It works both ways, but differently.  I think it's a
stronger ending than what you have, but I do think it works best where you
have it.  Which leads me to wonder what I might be missing in the last
line(s).

Ending as you have, you invite people to enjoy and share the story, but I
think you could go further.  You could invite readers to  "Please enjoy,
make it your own, and pass it along.  We are all storytellers now, [always
have been and always will be].  Good luck!  And keep your Spirit up!
[That's what this book is about.]"  Or something like that, something in
the spirit of "anyone with a good head and good heart."  The funny thing
about your story is that it doesn't go on because people share it... it
goes on because people step up and share their own story, inside of or
extending from, yours.

When you're satisfied that it's done, would it be appropriate to post this
same story (tweaked for reference to "this book") atop all of your writings
at openspaceworld.com?

Thanks,

Michael

Re: [OSList] A Preface

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Dear Harrison,
as always, your writing is inspiring. You asked for feedback and here is
what would make this preface writing work better for me. It is all of
course fine as it is. However, if you were to take the beginning sentences
and put them at the end in exactly the order that you wrote them. This
would leave the ending of the preface with the words 'be careful', a phrase
sure to get the pages turning. Or is it only me that would turn those pages
when admonished to 'be careful' as it would peak my curiosity. Can you
picture a strengthening of your message? the sentences I am referring to
are:

"I am a story teller.



To be truthful, I was trained as an academician, but I came to a startling
recognition: *Nobody was ever moved by facts, figures, and footnotes.  A
good story, however, will move Spirit and minds.*



I should warn you of what you already know: Storytellers have a very light
regard for the truth, as in “The facts of the matter,” and “What actually
happened”  However, if the story is a good one, The Truth will pop out,
which is what makes a story good  – one that you will remember ... and may
change your life. Be careful."


aI don't believe Spirit disappears. it is constant. Our sense of Spirit
disappearing can be strong, especially when there are endings. I love when
you say that endings are also the work of Spirit. I would prefer that the
words about Spirit disappearing are changed. The constant of Spirit, life
force, present always, accessible always, is essential for Open Space
Technology to work.


with love and blessings,

Birgitt

Re: [OSList] A Preface

[Koos de Heer via OSList]

Thank you dear Harrison, 

 

What a great read. So much depth and wisdom in just a few paragraphs. Made me 
happy to read it, like coming home. When I got to the bit where you write about 
the silence and about coming home, I realized that was exactly what was 
happening to me in that very moment. And it is what has happened to me every 
time I opened space for others or was taking part in an open space gathering. 
True magic.

 

Much love

 

Koos
