Later on I asked the sponsor why she felt the need to do what she did. Her
answer "I don't believe in following just one process, open space is only a

So often I've experienced angst when someone
wants "me" to do their bidding, like washing the dishes, when I really have
no worries letting them sit for another day. Open space, I am finding, has
as much pertinance in the furnace of the everyday, as it does at some huge
political level
absolutely love about Open Space. It allows space for spirit, passion and
life. For me it is about being open space, living the principles and law,
and giving me a process as life comes out of me and at me. And hopefully
therein beginning a new myth to live by; be prepared to be surpri
ere having an
argument with someone!

After yiou gave the Michaels a hammering earlier this year your time has

Although I revere that name I do have a feeling that the use of this word
maybe the antithesis of liturgical matters when it comes to your mother

What sort of space is that to be living with? I can tell you I began
seriously questioning what the heck I was doing!
This was the life that OST has opened up new possibilties for; a space
between a rock and a hard place that is, well, very ope

I'd like to thank you Chris for your comments.
I was particularly happy to note your comparison re First People.
I don't have much more to add to the comments except to reiterate the point
that OS itself does not carry out a process or "do" anything with a theme /
issue or opportunity, it is the
opportunity through and thereby
the only ones who can.
so I'm looking for as many different extensions to the initial stattement of
the principles and law as people can provide.
Hope this helps.
