Walking the circle - outside

[Chris Corrigan]

And not only that, but maybe the clearest and most defined and effective
structures are the ones we create for ourselves.  I talk about this a
lot, answering critics who say that Open Space is too unstructured.  It
is not.  It is perfectly, elegantly, intricately organized structure,
created from "nothing" but initial conditions and sustained by the
passion and responsibility of those in the space, who will always move,
especially unconsciously, towards structure that is perfect for the
moment, in every moment.
