> Good morning from an America where I, at least, feel like I can breathe

> Also this morning comes news of the death of Marilyn Ferguson, author of *The
> Aquarian Conspiracy*.  She was 70 and apparently died of a heart attack.
>
> In 1983, I attended the first Organization Transformation Symposium in New
> Hampshire (USA), organized by Harrison and a batch of deliciously crazy
> co-conspirators (people who breathe together) known as The Washington Group.
>  The hope, vision, and sense of possibility expressed in Ferguson's book
> combined as organizing vision and principles for many of us gathered there.
>  We talked about it a lot.  We longed to be people who could help bring this
> "new age" about.  We sought to live up to its ideals.  One man even wore a
> small pendant on a chain around his neck that represented in silver the
> symbol for connection, unity, diversity in oneness that graced the book's
> cover.  We were in love with the* idea* of possibility Ferguson described
> as much as with the possibility itself.  Those were heady, dreamy days.  I
> know some of you were there, too.  The conference was a turning point in my
> life.
>
> On some universal plane, I believe Marilyn Fergsuon's thinking and writing
> somehow pre-saged open space and the realm of possibilities open space
> always allows.  And thanks to Harrison and his brilliant martini-fueled
> concoctions, we have all become part of one grand conspiracy – which is what
> self-organization and wave riding may be all about.  No?
>
> Good-bye, Marilyn, and thank you.  Hellooo-ooo open space....
