Right on the button, michael.  Lao tzu and gerry spence have written
eloquently on this.  Come to think of it: so has/did immanuel kant --
and perhaps/probably a few others ... J.

Subject: replacing?

this might be cutting things a bit fine, but as we know, there are
subtle differences in openspace that make a bigdifference.  so try this
on if you like...

many times we hear os talked about as a "tool."  makes sense enough.
and what i've been suggesting where i can is that bulletin board,
marketplace, circle, etc are tools.  open space is a practice that is
the skillful use and integration of many of these tools.

i thnk it's worth making a distinction in this way not only about open
space, but about other tings as well.  perhaps the thing with this
replacing business is not so much replacing os with something else, but
replacing a 'tool' mind with a practice mind.
