Open Space

[Jeff Aitken]

I understand the distinction you are making, Birgitt. In my words we gather
into the circle, go on our wayfinding journey, and return to the circle to
circulate our gifts. The opening that is available is, indeed, a window
into the workings of the universe.

I understand your wanting to call the universe Open Space. To me it honors
these qualities of the universe which are too easy to overlook in modern
societies and noun-rich (rather than verb-rich) languages. We need to do
that.

I prefer to reclaim the English words universe, creation, "creation-ing",
the Hebrew words olam, gya, malchuto, etc. with these honoring meanings.
And I call this process that Harrison originated: Open Space.

Tho recently I've become fond of calling it spaghetti with marinara sauce
and porcini mushrooms...

Blessings to you (all) for your work and sharing
Jeff

hello all,

how would anyone feel if we make a change to the listserve to reflect
our emerging commitment to the spaghetti with marinara sauce and porcini
mushrooms...
