Marei,
Not only aggression but every feeling teaches me how important and sensible is
the way we communice.
Everytime i say ok now i have to communicate...I then have to find the best way
to do it..the best way is
when i am able to say what is correct for me (my truth) but without causing a

Dear Lucas,
you seem to be on an interesting track. Don't have time right now to get deeper
in it.
Probably it's somehow related with using the power of agression (because there
is strength in it) to build something instead of destroying sth (even though
sometimes something has to be destroyed

Not only have you extended our space, but it is possible that there is more

A few years ago someone wrote or said that even though the population is

All this writing about agression makes me want to look at it from newer
perspectives, if possible.
There's this framework for considering waste as a resource: "if there

Jack;
I think you have asked a great question about the words we use and their
implications - what does it mean to "open" pace if in fact all systems
are really self-organizing.
I think "open" is a relative word, not dualistic (open or closed). We
are enabling a system to be more "open" and more

Harrison--
Your description of the open Now reminds me of Ira Progoff's At a Journal
Workshop. Often I have mused about his "open moment" and the implications
of open space. Are you familiar with his work? What do you see as the
places where the two ideas inform each other?

Hi--
How will those of you from the US be getting to Halifax?
So far, I have not found any good airfares from my location (South Bend,
Indiana) to Halifax--all seem to be in the $500 range.
Is there another airport near Halifax that might be a good alternative? Is
anybody planning to drive, take
Hi all!
It came to me just now, Therese, the sprout from the then-ungerminated
seed of a thought in the email where I apologized to you for my
hurtful remarks onlist.
I think there IS a place for verbally expressing sexism, etc. in this
world. It would be great to become that totally enlightened
Thank you, Therese for your kind words.
And you said:
I agree.
And all of this mixing and matching and sharing and teaching of each

Jack -
You ask about what it means to 'open space' if all systems are self
organizing (and so . already open, no?). And a parallel thought - does
that assume the space is closed before we open it.
You know that I often use body analogies.

Getting to Halifax. . . .
The "cheapest" flight that I can find to Halifax is about $600 from
Seattle. And I think it is a good idea to remember that airfares tend
to go up in the summer. The longer I wait to buy it, the more the
fare will likely cost.
I have half decided to take the train. It
