Locusts!

[Viv McWaters]

Hello again

A new creature emerged at last week's open space event for the dairy
industry - locusts. Here's how it happened. We were sitting in the circle
for evening news, while one group were still deep in conversation (it
certainly wasn't over for them).

Discussion started around the circle, especially about the principles and
what the whole group response to this situation should be. Someone
suggested that we all use our two feet and go and see what was so
interesting - so en masse about 25 people crammed into the room where the
continuing group was. On their return they announced that a new creature
had been born in open space - plague locusts!

The small group (despite the influx of locusts) finished their discussion
and we had an eventful evening news full of laughter.

Cheers

Viv

joelle,
replying first or early could be, must not be a sign  of being ready to accept
responsibility.
do you think we have to look at the readyness of accepting resonsibility ?
let me think,
the "mystery" what you are wondering about may be that we are always ready to
do,
what we are doing.whatever we are doing responsibility will  emerge in
open!space,
every person for its own all-day-long is in open!space.
a group is ready to think and to act as a group from the moment they come
together as a group.
