advanced butterfly

[Wendy Farmer-O'Neil]

Dear Peggy and all,

What a rich conversation!  What wonderful questions to sit with!

What is coming up for me, Peggy, is that it is not a new technology that we
are waiting to see emerge, but rather that we are witnessing the growing
pains of a new competency in open space.  I was blessed to experience rich
butterfly behaviour in Moscow at OSonOS XIV.   Pairings and small groups
sprang up, unposted, all about the space, over all three days.  These groups
honoured the principles and the law of OS and flourished in it.  There were
very personal, intimate conversations that occurred there-deep and lasting
relationships formed.  And each person I witnessed, had the openness, the
energy, and the courage to trust in Spirit and in the practice of deep
invitation. Even in the most delicate of conversations, a newcomer was
welcomed in as the right person at the right time.  I suggest this is the
edge of a new competence emerging in OS events-that OST, when embodied
fully, can bring as rich rewards to our relationships as it has to our
innovations in organizations-with no alteration in the technology.  I sense
that the private meetings, the limited invitations, are a relic of our
pre-OS consciousness that we are ever more quickly transcending.  That the
urge to non-convene? a group of one, two or more people will grow.  That the
participants' trust in the field to generate the precise invitation required
will grow.  The right people, the right time, whatever happens, be prepared.
I suggest that as participants' capacity to sense the energy of the field
and to work with it grows, the need to exert external controls will
dissipate. 

Perhaps one day, we won't even see topics posted-just a crowd of butterflies
and bumblebees swirling in mandelbrotish ecstasy!  Wink wink.  <big grin>

Cheers and love,
Wendy
