The OS list is and has been such a gift to my learning and the opening of space inside myself.
I have felt the spirit of community, energy and generosity every day.
I will never know all of those who had the vision and passion, through chaos and order to create what we have.
With deep appreciation and intention, in this moment I want to say THANK YOU!

Hi,
I am not very active on this listserv but I listen alot. It seems to
me that if we truly honor the principles of self-organization,
everything will unfold to meet the needs of each person in the
community as we honor our ability to speak and take care of ourselves.
I find cyberspace a sort of community in itself. People join together
in all sorts of spaces and from what I observe, do so based mostly on
shared interests and values. That this community first came together
around Harrison's Open Space convening methodology is nice, AND
however it evovles, I know it will be OK.
I get a sense of grasping in this thread and I wonder if this about
trying to conserve something is a form that may no longer be possible
or desired if this community is to continue to thrive? This is more
of a question than an assertion, and I wonder if I am the only one who
senses this?
