Wisdom of/for Open Space

[Eric Lilius]

The following struck me as very 'open spacey'.
Transcending the Episcopalian and the Evangelical.

  Contentment

"Paradoxical as it seemed, the Master always insisted that the true reformer was
one who was able to see that everything is perfect as it is -- and able to leave
it alone.

"Then why would he wish to reform anything?" protested his disciples.

"Well, there are reformers and reformers: One type lets action flow through them
while they themselves do nothing; these are like people who change the shape and
flow of a river.  The others generate their own activity; they are like people
who exert themselves to make the river wetter."

Anthony de Mello, SJ

MORSEL: Be still like a mountain and flow like a river.  --Lao-Tze.

To live in this world
You must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends upon it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
                        Mary Oliver
