Ralph -- The simplicity is deafening! You should be more complicated. How
are you going to justify your exorbitant fees???

Subject: Training wheels, et al
Hi everyone,
Recently a colleague and I opened a day of space for a client. In
planning the agenda for the day, we never mentioned that we were going
to "do" a process called open space. After listening to the
organization's leaders for a while, we suggested it would be good to
open some space so the entire group they were assembling could have a
chance to explore the issues and opportunities that faced them as they
addressed their current challenges, and that by the end of the day
we'd all have a conversation (convergence) at which the group would
name it's most important concerns, for action planning later.
They said okay. We did, and they did. Voila.

> Subject: Place and Open Space: NEW FUN IMPORTANT The semi-annual
> Poetry Celebration and Contest!
>
> Last week I introduced the new poetry celebration and contest. But I
> forgot one thing! It's the FORM that makes it FUN to write a poem!
>
> So try this: Start with the letter "A"
>
> And start each new line with the next letter of the English
> alphabet: B, C, D, E, and so on. The poem is over when it's over.
>
>
> Anyone can write a poem
> By opening two red doors.
>
> Capture an experience that shook your life;
>
> Describe the red ripe tomato on that summer day, the first you ever
> grew, then
> Eat it! and let its sweet seeds spill down on the page
> For us;
> Grab a napkin and laugh.
>
>
>
> NEW THEME:
>
> You may write about a Place and Open Space -- but let's expand the
> theme to why it's IMPORTANT to write a poem:
>
> Share an experience with open space that shook your life.
>
>
>
> If you want to write in a language other than English, you may use
> your own alphabet (if it's a different one) - in any translation,
> the English translation does not have to follow the form. If you
> don't use an alphabet, I trust you to confine yourself to a form
> like this in the original poem.
>
>
> CONTEST GUIDELINES
>
> 1. You may write as many poems as you wish, in any languages.
> Original work only please.
>
> 2. Send them directly to me
>
> magic.teams at hotmail.com
>
> OR, send it (them) to the OSLIST.
>
> 3. If you write a poem in a language other than English, please also
> provide an English translation, as best you can (we know that poetry
> does not always translate perfectly.)
>
> 4. The deadline for entering a poem to the celebration and contest
> is September 30, 2008 at midnight California time.
>
> 5. After September 30, I will compile all of the poems into an
> email, without the authors' names attached, and post them to the
> OSLIST with instructions on how anyone on the list can vote for your
> favorite poem(s.) The author of the poem that receives the most
> votes will become our new Poet Laureate until the next celebration
> and contest.
>
> If you have questions please let me know!
