Below is a poem I offer that emerged from my experiences of Open Space.  
This is the world it creates for me and in me.  I hope you enjoy the sense 
and nonsense of it.  Thanks,  Craig

The dance of nonsense,
	in and out of time,
		the swirling mass matters,
			the deep rhythms,
				no one knows, but all know, unspoken,
					rising waters, sinking tides,
							the Spirit moving
over the deep,
								order from
chaos,
	
chaos from order,
	
silence,
									out
of the whirlwind,
						out of the fragments of
disconnects,
					a subtle voice emerges,
				whispers,
			shouts,
		a new song,
	a new order,
					new connections,
				playing with and through us;
			Is it all for naught,
	or is it naught that opens the way?
