A Partial Diary of the Collective Buddha

[kenoli Oleari]

Yes, I agree.  I think what I was trying to evoke here was that
within some context there has to be unregulated participation.
People need to be able to feel spontaneous and creative.  I don't
think this is in conflict with a talking stick circle, Open Space
structure or any other thoughtful process container.  I am holding an
internal dialog here with seeing process as needing to hold a
creative tension between order and chaos, structure and freedom.
