Fw: humour

[Birgitt Bolton]

Hello friends, on this first day of spring we've just been hit with a foot
of snow. Winter just doesn't know how to end here (Ontario). Under the snow
are all of my crocuses and spring flowers in full bloom. We'll soon know if
they somehow magically survive this last onslaught of winter.

Anyhow, happy spring to you and I am sending a bit of humour your way. When
I saw these quotations I couldn't help but chuckle that this mentality is
why some folks are scared of Open Space. Only this morning I heard the
comment yet again that a group who knew Open Space was good said the
organization just "wasn't ready for it yet". I've heard this many times and
would like to add it to the Dilbert quotes below. Not ready yet for
goodness, healing, high spirit and achievement, high play, and being at our
potential...:-).

Anyhow, happy spring and hope you enjoy these.
