A reflection on our reflections

[kenoli Oleari]

I like the model you describe.  One thing it does, it allows for
synchronicity.-- Kenoli

>Thank you for the many, many profound insights.

>Even as I'm about to work with the news media, I have been railing to myself
>about the shallow coverage on the news.  It finally dawned on me.  Lists
>like this have become the place for reliable news and public discourse.  I
>may get the broad facts from mainstream media, but the meaning making is
>happening here, with a diversity of perspectives; including such amazing
>cross-connections as a message from a military veterans list posted on the
>OS list!

>I also suspect that as self disclosure happens, the asynchronous nature of
>this way of communicating helps us to go deeper.  When I read something that
>makes me defensive, I can go away and breathe deeply.  When I return, a
>loving and honest response appears.  And we all keep talking.
>
>This gives me hope because we are no longer reliant on a monolithic source
>of information that distorts as much or more than it informations. Rather,
>we have access to many perspectives through our connections.  We are weaving
>a deeper truth, a sense of oneness that gets its strength through honoring
>complexity and diversity rather than "sound-biting" it out of existence in
>the name of unity.  I won't be surprised if eventually some convergence
>naturally emerges leading us (and I mean us is the largest sense) into
>strong, collective action.

>Thank you all.

>P.S.  Thanks for your thoughts on the journalism conference.  Please keep
>them coming and I'll let you know how it goes...
