OSONOS Hither and Yon (a little on the long side)

[Glory Ressler]

I am hoping that we can accommodate both international exchange and local events that electronically linked internationally.

I saw pictures of Istanbul's snowy weather on the news, Funda, and thought of you! 
Enjoy - we're all about that wintery snow in Canada :-) although it's been unseasonably warm here!

Glory :-)

  "I plead for keep the flag very 
  high for THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL OSONOS, and of course to enable as much as 
  possible other OSONOS´s local and around the globe.
   
  Warmly,
  Gabriela"

  I can not keep the flag that high for now, but i agree that more exchanges among cultures
  are needed, diversity is more joyful and more enriching and OST is the best tool for that. 

  This is why i believe IAO Istanbul can be a step for that.

  Here is a what turkish philosopher (Hilmi Ziya Ulken )says in 1940

  Today, humanity doesn't have to make a choice, it has to make a synthesis.

  Western civilization, will deny itself as a result of its overdevelopment in
  technology and will power (self control) and Eastern Civilizations will  be
  ruined as a result of lack of self control ( discipline) and humanity will
  end.

  Or, these two poles of humanity, movements of tension and expansion; one
  ruled by intelligence and self control, the other  governed by sympathy
  will realize that they are incomplete and will come together to work to
  create the whole human being. And the future will be more Human as  2
  civilizations will complete each other by educating , producing whole human
  beings.


  I guess istanbul is a city where these 2 civilizations get together and the life
  here is created in intersection, by interraction of o them for centuries.

  That's why  i would like very much that IAO istanbul can be
  an international OST event.

  That's why i kindly ask you to support us with your suggestions, ideas, participation.

  Let's open 4 or  5 spaces here all together, take your friends, your family, your clients
  whoever you want with you.

  Let's identify 4 or 5 themes which will be attractive and inviting... I have already started working on them.

  I am looking for participation from our neigbours and all over the world.

  Let's cross the bridge all together, opening some spaces in such an interractive
  city, interractive country and region.

  lots of love from a stormy and snowy istanbul
  funda
