Interesting poem

[Glory Ressler]

Dear all,
I came across the following, from Barry Oshry of 'Seeing Systems:
Unlocking the Mysteries of Organizational Life' fame and thought of our
practice and all of you...
Here's to you all!
best,
glory

SPACES

Top spaces bring out our arrogance,
Bottom spaces our dependency;
In Middle spaces we lose our selves,
And Customer spaces evoke our righteousness.

In spaces of shared responsibility
we become territorial;
In spaces of common danger
we mobilize in holy war;
In spaces that separate us
we fall into a soul-shriveling I-ness.

So master the space,
and master your self within the space;
Choose a space of common venture
in which each of us is committed to the other
And all are reaching beyond our selves
to leave our imprints on the world.


'If it isn't a happy ending, our story isn't over yet.'
