more on what I/we have learned

[Eric Lilius]

Raffi,

I agree that living in Open Space is a challenge worth pursuing. I do have a 
suggestion about the language you use.

Rather than calling it "the" path to the mountain, I would suggest that you call 
  it "a" path or "my" path. "The" path implies there is only one way and many of 
us are aware of the kinds of problems that causes.

Is there such a thing as Open Space fundamentalism?

I am enjoying the Chechnyan music....fits in with my affection for klezmer and 
gypsy music.

May the fog clear as you walk your path.

Eric

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
		Rumi
