Re: [OSList] Lonely
A modern name for that feeling…the radiant network. Following the Practice of Peace gathering at Whidbey Island in 2003, Anne Stadler coined the term the “radiant network” to describe the sense of connectedness that was present by the end of our time among the 130+ people from 26 countries, many hight conflict areas. Chris was there. So was Harrison, and others on this list. I had it come home to me later that year when in Pune, India before the Open Space on Open Space in Goa. We were walking through Osho Park, a sacred place that inspired us to silence. At one point, I joined two of my colleagues who were just standing still looking into the distance. All of the sudden, the clouds cleared and in this place that had looked empty was the largest “colony” of spider webs I’ve ever seen spread between two trees that must have been 15-20 feet apart. One of my friends said, it’s the radiant network. When the sun is out, you can see it. When the sun is behind the clouds, it’s still there, but it’s invisible. Somehow that planted the feeling in my bones. I know that I am held in the radiant network. When my heart is open, I feel it deeply. When my heart is closed, it’s harder to believe, but deep within, some part of me knows I am connected. And that gives me courage. Yes…the opposite of lonely. Thanks, Annamarie, for the question. And many thanks, Chris, for the language from different wisdom traditions. appreciatively, Peggy _ Peggy Holman Executive Director Journalism that Matters 15347 SE 49th Place Bellevue, WA 98006 425-746-6274 www.journalismthatmatters.net www.peggyholman.com Twitter: @peggyholman JTM Twitter: @JTMStream Enjoy the award winning Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity Check out my series on what's emerging in the news information ecosystem On Oct 2, 2014, at 1:57 AM, Romy Shovelton via OSList oslist@lists.openspacetech.org wrote: thank you for that deep distinction Chris….

Thank you Peggy, Chris, Annamarie, Rosa, Allie, John, for such a wonderful conversation. I'm adding another word to the list from my Hawaiian heritage (ohana), and the Lakota version of Chris' indinewmaganik (mitkuye oyasin). As virtual note taker - here are all these lovely words traditions contributed so far: English possible antonyms for Lonely: radiant network, popular, sociable, populous, crowded, close, beloved, loved, accompanied, happy, content, frolicsome, patience, playful, gay, light-hearted, high-spirited Other languages/cultures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitakuye_Oyasincynefin - Welsh - your places of multiple belonging indinewmaganik - Anishnabemowin of the Ojibway - I belong to everything ubuntu - Ngali Bantu - 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. so hum ( ?? ) - Sanscrit - I am He/That, Identifying ones self with the ultimate reality satnam ( ??? ) - Sanskrit (from Sikhism) - There is only one constant or commonly There is one God - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satnam bien acompañada - Spanish - well accompanied ohana - Hawaiian - family (in an extended sense of the term, including blood-related, adoptive or intentional). The concept emphasizes that families are bound together and members must cooperate and remember one another. mitkuye oyasin - Lakota - I belong to everything - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitakuye_Oyasin Warm Regards, Harold On 10/2/14 9:19 AM, Rosa Zubizarreta via OSList wrote: Peggy, thank you for the beautiful phrase and story... the radiant network... :-) and Chris, thank you.

A modern name for that feeling…the radiant network.

Chris was there. So was Harrison, and others on this list. I had it come home to me later that year when in Pune, India before the Open Space on Open Space in Goa.

All of the sudden, the clouds cleared and in this place that had looked empty was the largest “colony” of spider webs I’ve ever seen spread between two trees that must have been 15-20 feet apart.

Re: [OSList] Lonely
OMG! I wanted to keep quiet until everyone had a chance to offer their thoughts, (natural facilitator stance) but I must say that these thoughts and offerings are RICH.! Thank you all most heart-feltily/fully. The question remains about opposites to the word lonely.. Stephane (I can't find the keyboard for the accent) ... do your offered words have feeling associated with them? Like lonely does? Aside from Stephane's response, I'm interested in that we have Celtic, African, and American Indian but not Indo-European... Comments? Merci!

Re: [OSList] Lonely
And of course in the Vedic tradition, where we sing the Sanskrit 'so hum' or 'sat nam' mantra together, when chanted with intention it's like the universal sound of OM...joint mind and heart, personal and transpersonal and that practice seems to seal the sense of connection - a practice aka - something that helps us experience and embrace the the opposite of loneliness This wisdom that arises from our bodies, this primordial delight of eternal life in connection with others that we experience in Open Space is also found in creative practices of sound and movement when we help each other to remember who we really are As a Quaker child in NY, all we did was to sit, and sit more, then when we sat together, the bizarre awareness of not being separate landed in us and then people branched out, creating new things Maybe Because they did not feel lonely Creativity arose from that connection in stillness, belonging and silent, until something moved in us to share... And now, the energy streams forth, just like Indras net...shimmering and opening toward a new so hum Allie Middleton from the iPad iPhone 518.669.9923 Skype - alliemiddleton Create it! ...an extra miracle, extra and ordinary: the unthinkable can be thought On Sep 30, 2014, at 21:04, Annamarie Pluhar via OSList oslist@lists.openspacetech.org wrote: OMG! I wanted to keep quiet until everyone had a chance to offer their thoughts, (natural facilitator stance) but I must say that these thoughts and offerings are RICH.! Thank you all most heart-feltily/fully. The question remains about opposites to the word lonely.. Stephane (I can't find the keyboard for the accent) ... do your offered words have feeling associated with them? Like lonely does? Aside from Stephane's response, I'm interested in that we have Celtic, African, and American Indian but not Indo-European... Comments? Merci!

It does sound like a profound opposite of lonely, 'your places of multiple belongings'. Your explanation of Cynefin stimulated my recollection of the meaning of another possible opposite of lonely, the word Ubuntu, from the African Ngali Bantu language meaning 'I am what I am because of who we all are'.

I know the word because it's the name of of complexity framework. But it also means your places of multiple belonging. That refers to the fact that all of us feel many different homes and many different places where we feel connected in the world in English there's no word that can capture this sense of multiple belonging but I do like the idea that such a sentiment need to name. In Anishnabemowin which is the language of Ojibway and related peoples of North America, the word indinewmaganik means all my relations but is actually better translated as I belong to everything. That's as good an opposite of lonely as I can think of. -- CHRIS CORRIGAN Harvest Moon Consultants Facilitation, Open Space Technology and process design Check www.chriscorrigan.com http://www.chriscorrigan.com for upcoming workshops, blog posts and free resources.
