Hello, dear Chris -

I have a statewide conference for 500 coming up, and I'm picturing a
microphone-in-the-middle talking circle kind of thing.  I will only have an
hour for this part.  I'm going to introduce it in the same old way,
including the fact that we have until 5:00 to share these thoughts,
insights, observations, understandings.  And I will come into the center
when it's time to close / transition.

Sometimes if the group is larger or energy lends itself to this, I walk the
microphone to whomever wants to speak next.  Sometimes it's so hard to get
those chairs in a circle with enough room for moving in and out and around
those same chairs to come into the center.  Of course it's a bit different
than having folks come forth and step into the center - different feel to
it.  But I find that the things said are still as touching and edgy and
thoughtful and that the whole group still breathes with it all.

Wow - your aisles in the four directions.  So perfect, though I'd never
thought of it.  So obviously perfect.  I learn from you (as always).

I will be riding on your shoulder and whispering into your ear as you swim
around 700 amazing souls...

Lisa
