so how would open space handle this?

To All:

I recall a story from a college age woman who was traveling to the Middle
East and befriended people who were not aware of her Jewish heritage.  As
the depth of the relationship grew, she felt afraid yet compelled to share
her truth and "risk" the growing friendship.  The details of this story may
be off, but as she shared her truth, the friendship deepened and then
broadened.  It may be from the Appreciative Inquiry "domain" that I recall
this story.  It evolved into two villages from "each side" getting together
and sharing despite the cultural prohibitions to do so.  Children and older
adults were the first to participate and their participation facilitated a
broader participation.

Stories have power.  I hope I have rendered this story in a form "close
enough" that someone else will recall the correct details.

Be Well,

Dave Rupley, Jr., MD(H)
