Story of a recent 2.5 day OST

[Michael Herman]

yep.  same for my website.  the phrase about sacrifice that shows up at
the very beginning and the very end of my evolution at work collection
is from t.s.eliot... four quartets...  "costing not less than
everything"  also, early on, i decided that i had to do this writing,
for whatever it is worth, and give it away.  so that is why it's been
made available for free to all.  it isn't a professionally edited and
published, but i do think there is enough there to be helpful.  probably
too much.

i had the 'evolution at work' and 'invitation resources' collections
available on the table at osonos this week.  many got to read a bit and
asked where they could be read and downloaded.  they are full of
everything i've been able to capture about opening space in org... my
own journey
