Hello, dear colleagues -
=20
For the past several months I have held the honor of being the OSLIST =
Poet
Laureate. With awe and respect I have gathered your words to create =
'found
poems' to share back with you all, as inspired by our colleague and past
Poet Laureate, Ms. Laurel Doersam of Canada. You can find some of the =
other
found poems I have shared by searching in the OSLIST archives and using =
the
key words "Found Poem" in the "subject is or contains." area of the =
search
page. Titles included "Holding / My Truest Self / Space", "The Mystery =
of
Open Space" and "Touch the Now." You may remember some of the words I =
share
with you below from a conversation thread with the titles of "A note =
from a
young friend" and "A note for Josef". This is a long poem. Pour =
yourself a
cup of tea. Lisa

Opening Space for Conflict and Peace
Found Poem -- June 8 to August 23, 2006
=20
=20
=20
=20
=20
I'm very concerned about the war=20
I read the news about it everywhere.=20
=20
I found a newspaper=20
and read the news
=20
People died=20
children and old people.=20
=20
oh my God, I couldn't stand to read it.=20
=20
I saw the news on the TV
people suffered...=20
=20
I turned my radio on and heard the news=20
=20
After the news,=20
=20
I cried.=20
=20
=20
What is wrong with this world??=20
Why do they do that?
What for?=20
Can't they stop the war,=20
make peace,=20
and live happily together?=20
=20
What's wrong with peace?=20
Why do they reject peace?=20
What do they want now?=20
When is it going to be over?
=20
Can we do something to stop the war?=20
Me, you, and the Imams and Rabbis?=20
Can we take action?=20
What can we do to stop the war?=20
What can we do to make them realize=20
that war won't do any good? =20
=20
Why do people want to destroy ?=20
Why do people choose to kill themselves=20
and others -=20
rather than talk and listen?=20
Why do people believe that violence can stop violence?=20
Why do people hate so much?
=20
I can't find any answer for these questions.=20
=20
I feel hopeless.=20
=20
A leaf in the storm of world wide war.
=20
=20
I sometimes despair=20
and hear with disbelief=20
the vacuous statements=20
by our so called leaders.=20
=20
Presidents, Kings, Imams, Rabbis=20
=20
I am afraid that this may be one of those times=20
when all the things we should have done=20
and did not,=20
all the things we should not have done=20
and did --=20
now come due
=20
I am new in this place.=20
=20
since it is a time of war=20
=20
Why do you think=20
that space=20
is limited only=20
to love and good?=20
Isn't space unlimited by definition?
=20
Do you believe=20
that terrorists will sit with you=20
in open space circles=20
that perhaps opening space=20
with Bin Laden=20
could have prevented the attack on the World Trade Center?=20
=20
=20
Being a Human Being is a constant learning process,=20
and sometimes that learning can be very painful.=20
But the greatest tragedy=20
would be not to learn.=20
=20
I am not sure=20
that Opening Space=20
with or for Bin Laden=20
would have done much good,=20
but I am pretty sure=20
that had we (all of us)=20
diligently opened space for the peoples of the world=20
so that the chaos, confusion and conflict=20
that inevitably occur in the course of human living=20
might have found resolution=20
prior to=20
explosion --=20
the Bin Ladens of this world would find little fuel for their fires.=20
=20
That did not happen and the fires are burning.=20
=20
It could have been different, I believe --=20
and may still be different=20
if we get to work.
=20
Fear is fear. Pain is pain. Injustice is injustice. Dead is dead. =20
One people's fear or pain is not more legitimate than the others. =20
=20
It has never been more important than now=20
to create the spaces=20
for people to come together,=20
and through dialogue,=20
be reminded=20
that we are all human=20
and=20
what joins us=20
is so much much more=20
than what divides us.=20
=20
=20
for my self, I feel neither helpless nor hopeless.=20
=20
In my understanding of life and humanity,
Evil is not evil for the sake of being evil
Terrorists do not become terrorists for the sake of being terrorists.
=20
It all comes out of some closed, oppressed space.=20
There is only chance=20
and hope=20
in opening space=20
and hearts=20
and inviting=20
to witness=20
one another.=20
=20
I hope our friends fellows neighbours=20
also feel,=20
they are not alone!=20
=20
I wish them love=20
and strength=20
and courage=20
and that they, too,=20
do not feel help-=20
and hopeless.
=20
It is supporting to know there are many,=20
who will keep on going in the spirit of Open Space=20
everyone in her and his place of the world=20
=20
=20
=20
believing=20
that if I can
help just two people=20
to really hear=20
and listen=20
to each other -=20
and rediscover their common humanity -=20
then it is still worth=20
carrying on.
your words=20
brought such comfort=20
at this moment.=20
It makes me think=20
that what I offer=20
just might have some real value=20
after all.=20
=20
I now feel less helpless.=20
And I know you are right,=20
the fever has to run its course -=20
it is sometimes just so hard when it hits so close.
=20
=20
I do not accept=20
that there is some 'evil'=20
that open space can allow in.=20
=20
I refuse to accept=20
that terrorism and violence are the way!=20
=20
Evil acts, in my view,=20
are a consequence=20
of misunderstanding, oppression, inequality=20
If we are ever to find a resolution to conflict=20
it can only come about - in the end -=20
by talking=20
and listening.=20
=20
If we are not talking, listening ~and~ respecting -=20
we end up commiting more acts of violence.=20
Believing that there are 'evil' people=20
is but one short step away=20
from saying=20
that negotiation, listening & building peace=20
can ~never ever~ work.=20
=20
It is a long process.=20
=20
It does not come about=20
through strength of arms=20
or firing rockets over borders
It is in the end about dialogue=20
=20
=20
What shows up in Open Space
is just plain people,=20
who come in all shapes and sizes=20
with multiple desires, histories and passions.=20
=20
Even in violently conflicted environments,=20
the people soon find themselves=20
with more in common than difference.=20
To be sure=20
the conversations may be loud and confrontational --=20
but for the most part,=20
they are conducted with respect --=20
which often turns into hope=20
and trust,=20
and strangely,=20
even affection.=20
=20
To be sure there are psychopaths and thugs.=20
Every society has them --=20
but when the space of that society=20
is kept open
the pathology of such people=20
can be marginalized=20
and the toxins they produce=20
flushed away.=20
=20
when we close space,=20
build walls,=20
seek to dominate and control=20
these same toxins are concentrated=20
and eventually become lethal.=20
=20
We know all about that, I think.
=20
By accepting the existence of evil=20
we can allow it to move out from our space.=20
In vastness of the Space=20
which is the matrix of all that exists=20
there can be a place for evil=20
but it doesn't have to be our space. =20
=20
Opening space is a sacred work=20
that should create a safe heaven=20
and a sacred ground for love to feel safe enough=20
to manifest and flourish
=20
That there is evil in this world is not a question,=20
although it is interesting that=20
my evil=20
may well be=20
your good=20
and visa versa.=20
And denial of the presence of evil,=20
no matter how it may be defined and understood,=20
is not a healthy characteristic for any human being.=20
=20
=20
The role of the facilitator occupies a space=20
beyond, beneath, outside of all elements=20
of "blame and judgment"=20
=20
this can be a real tough space to occupy.=20
=20
"Whoever comes is the right people"=20
"Whatever happens is the only thing that could have."
These go to the heart of the matter.=20
=20
The people who show up=20
and the events that take place=20
simply=20
"are"=20
and one must deal with them=20
as they are.=20
=20
Obviously everything "could" have been different.=20
And indeed, one might have hoped that they would have been different.=20
But the fact remains, they are what they are.=20
=20
I don't see this as "denial" in the least --=20
it is simply and profoundly=20
the radical acceptance=20
of things as they are=20
in the present moment.
=20
Assuming the role of Space Opener is a "sacred work."=20
It can also be excruciatingly difficult,=20
and perhaps impossible for some people=20
at some times.=20
We need to be fully "there" --=20
in the present moment --=20
regardless of what we may think about it personally.
=20
Many of the policies and actions of both sides=20
can feel short sighted, repugnant, and downright evil.=20
There may be more than sufficient blame to spread around.=20
=20
As long as anything is seen as "opposing side"=20
the chances for peace decreases.=20
=20
=20
During the course of our days together=20
we may feel our own internal anger, fear, doubt, frustration=20
sometimes so intensely that we become practically immobilized.=20
At such times, our only recourse may be to withdraw to our room=20
or to take a long walk --=20
in search of our own centered presence.=20
To be very honest,=20
there may be moments when we do not think we can handle it --=20
but somehow, some way=20
we may find ourselves
drawn, pushed, shoved=20
to discover parts of ourselves and our own resources=20
that we have never seen before.=20
=20
And in almost every case,=20
the needed strength, insight, calm=20
may come from a few words of just a silent look from one of the =
participants
--=20
who in a marvelous and magical way=20
have become openers and holders=20
of the space.=20
In truth, we all do it,=20
and the results are mindblowing
=20
There are times when our own personal=20
agenda, experience, feelings=20
are so strong=20
that it is impossible to rise above them.=20
=20
And the remarkable thing is that=20
in every instance=20
somebody else who could stand in that space did so.=20
=20
And if we ever reach a day=20
when nobody can step forward,=20
it will be a dark day indeed --=20
=20
for the possibility space for human life will simply close.=20
=20
=20
But we are not there yet,=20
and goodness knows we have a lot of work to do.
=20
When we open space=20
even sworn, lifelong enemies=20
who are convinced that the "others"=20
represent the epitome of evil --=20
find a way to treat each other=20
with respect,=20
and more often than not,=20
come to some reasonable and responsible solutions=20
for the issues at hand,=20
no matter how painful and conflicted.=20
=20
Will this always be true?=20
I cannot say, but that has been my experience=20
=20
=20
I intend to keep opening space=20
so that wonderful people such as you=20
can experience that "playground"=20
in which real people with real differences=20
can meet each other=20
with respect.=20
=20
And if you are looking for something to do right now --=20
you could try the same thing.=20
=20
=20
So - here's to large circles=20
and deep listening,=20
wide openness=20
and huge respect!=20
=20
And somewhere=20
everything=20
and everybody=20
is connected=20
and every action=20
will have an effect=20
for all of us.
=20
I am new in this place.
=20
It may take time -=20
but we can get there!
Peace.
=20
=20
=20
Imagine.
