  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
