Open Space & Spiral Dynamics & Seeds

[Suzanne Daigle]

Larry, I'm in for Toronto!   My sister lives there and it will be an
opportunity to visit her from Florida. As for the OS list, I still marvel at
it every day. It's like a friend whispering its wisdom in so many inspiring
ways. The Wave Rider event was very intense for me and I so honor this
community. Holding space, being a witness, letting go...I have much to learn
and live. So Larry, yes indeed, I do want to play in the Toronto sandbox
doing whatever tasks need doing. Suzanne
