Chris, thank you
Is there any chance you would want this to go in print and
offer it to us to be bought? (I’ll print it out tomorrow, but will get
single pieces of paper, of course
)
Love, Catherine

Dear Chris,
Thank you so much for continuing to mentor me in the world of transparency
and openly sharing what has heart and meaning. You offer so freely the
marvels of your world and the nuggets of wisdom and experience that serve
your learning. I continue to learn and grow through your modeling. Thank
you.
with much love,
Ashley

Chris,
A deep bow....nay.... a prostration of gratitude for the sharing of this
wonderful book.
The Tao Te Ching often comes to mind when contemplating the
indescribable essence of Open Space.
Thanks again for this deeply distilled and long gestated work.
It will reside beside my well thumbed User's Guide, and Ms. Heft's Idea
Book.
It would also nestle well with Douglas Harding's "On Having No Head".
"You are holding this space.You have all of
creation in your hands,like a delicate glass
ball.You must simply allow it to rest there,
and let the people draw on the echoes
planted in their genes,and continue the
journey of evolution together."
This makes my spine tingle.
