Great idea, thanks Ralph!
I will definately try that one day - on a proper occasion - which may show
up at a surprising moment...

Ämne: Binding the circle

Hi,

Yesterday I opened space for a dozen people who are part of an  
organization I've been serving for about ten years.  They'd had me  
open space for them on a number of previous occasions, but there are  
always a few newcomers, so I make sure to walk the circle, do the  
complete opening, etc.

Except my back was killing me, and it hurt to stand up and walk around.

So I took a seat in the circle and started off my explaining my  
(temporary) condition.  I said I wanted nevertheless to bind the  
circle, so I suggested we pass a "high-five" all the way around the  
circle and then back around again in the reverse direction.  So that's  
what we did, and it was fun.

Ralph Copleman
