[Fwd: Re: A Partial Diary of the Collective Buddha]

[Chris Corrigan]

There is also a sense I get that boundaries actually inspire creative
endeavour (just go and try to write a haiku; or reflect on why our first
poet laureate might have chosen a "Restricted Form" for our Biannual
poetry contests...restricted forms in Open Space?  Sacrilege! Or is
it...?).  Which is part of why the theme is so important and why the
givens can also be important.  If givens define a small space, it is our
challenge (and maybe obligation) to open that small space as fully as
possible for the participants to completely fill it.  A space that is
filled with energy is much more satisfying than one so huge that the
energy just fizzles in one dim corner.
