A CLOSING CIRCLE ONLINE...

Jeff Aitken posted the following in the online OSONOS space:

I learned some context for the principles from Angeles Arrien, who was
one of those nearby around the creation of open space; and I weave thus:

We show up in the circle, called by a story whose latest chapter is
coming to a close, whose next chapter waits to be written.

We pay attention to what has heart and meaning to each of us; put a
short title on the wall, sign our names where we feel drawn.

We speak our truths without blame or judgement, following our nose and
belly into strange attractors of conversation or silence which arise in
the fertile chaos.

Whoever comes; it starts and ends; Whatever happens; we let it go.

We return from our journeys back to the circle; we give away our gifts,
writing together this fresh chapter in the story; or perhaps the story
has completed; and we go on our way.

----

I thought this was a good way to open the closing of our online space.
So i post it here, with a final invitation to visit the online space,
post what you are moved to post and then we'll officially move on to
whatever comes next.

This is the place to record any last comments:

Might follow jeff's suggestion to read through and find a few ideas that
really grabbed you.  might be last thank you's.  might be next steps.
whatever needs to be said here to call this (virtual or berlin osonos)
finished for you.

many thanks to all who've participated, by posting or by reading.  it's
not the number of keystrokes, but the quality of attention, of course.

and so, i leave this space open until late sunday evening, 11/5 and
pass the keyboard... now who IS sitting to my right? <grin>

see you in the closing circle, ding, ding, ding, ding...
