Laurel Doersam- are you here or does anybody have her email address ?!

[Lisa Heft]

Hi, Bea -

 

I wanted to send this to you separately to explain this in private - just
between you and I.  First: Laurel Doersam Nathorst's (she got married to the
fabulous Rick Nathorst) email:

 

earthfriendly at shaw.ca

 

Laurel was the co-host (with Chris Corrigan) of the annual international
Open Space on Open Space in 2001, in Vancouver.  (She is also the first one
who created 'Found Poems' on the OSLIST when *she* was Poet Laureate)

 

The week after all us OSniks came to that fabulous OSonOS, Laurel was
diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  Very serious indeed.  But being an Open
Space person through and through, she has this lovely combination of spirit
(or Spirit) and letting go to the unknown (whatever happens is the only
thing that could have), calling support and strength from family and
friends, and dancing the dance of what each day brings.


And so, she is still alive and vibrant today!

 

(we are good friends, having taking our Open Space training together in
Harrison's class in 2000).

 

But: right now she is having some troubles with the cancer and the
treatment, so at this moment she is not feeling very well.

 

So the reason I am saying all this is: she will either welcome the
engagement and stimulation (it is nice to engage in things that require a
brain when everything else is happening to your body).

.OR:  you will not hear from her at all, if she does not have the energy to
respond.

 

So do email her to ask her about her thesis, and do not think it is an
imposition, because do know that she is very good at only doing what she
feels able to do and not feeling obligated.  But if you do not hear from her
then if she can she will probably email you when she is better, but that may
be in several months.

 

I thought you would like to know the whole story so you would not feel
awkward if you did not get a response.

 

Warm wishes for the success of your research, and cheers from sunny
Berkeley, California,

 

Lisa

 

(PS I read her thesis in 2001 but I don't think I can answer any questions,
so sorry.)
