Meditations on Tape

Opened Space today for a group of 60 teachers and administrators and for
some reason my mind was captured by the tape.  I wondered, what is the
optimum length for pieces of tape?  What is just too short?  What's too
long?  Does it vary with the width?  When it's just right, it curls up
like chrysanthemum petals.  And do you start laying out the pieces from
the top? The bottom?  The sides?  And, of course, the joy of it all is
that it doesn't matter in the slightest.  The fun's in the wondering.
So I wondered and smiled to myself and thought of you all.>

Tape.
 
A sticky subject.
 
Yellow as the sun, white as the clouds, or blue as the ocean.
 
Rolling tape.
Tape rollies.
 
Tape bracelets on the arms of facilitators.
 
Affixing thoughtful words to the walls.
A.fixing.  A fixing in place of a moment in time.
Little bits of tape waiting on the wall like chrysanthemum flowers,
ready to be plucked up to help do their share to hold (up) important
thoughts.
 
Tape.
Sticking to itself, like thoughts sometimes do when they are trying to
make their way out into words.

.a little rambling on a rolling subject during a time when a smile is
precious (and when isn't a smile precious)...
 
Cheers from Berkeley, California,
 
Lisa
