Fabulous start - WOSONOS in Taipei

[Suzanne Daigle]

It's the wee hours of a brand new day in Taipei.  Last evening was amazing
in all the right Open Space ways.  Such a warm welcome from everyone and
with everyone. To see so many hugging each other, laughing, smiling, talking
all at once, new people, old friends who meet every year or every couple of
years.  And then of course there is Spark, clicking away with his big fancy
camera like a papparazzi, only he's lovable with his magificient smile
always and so much enthusiasm.

As we walk into the reception room with dish after dish of home-cooked food,
healthy, delicious, we can feel (and soon taste!) the energy. Our familiar
OS posters are there on the wall welcoming us in this new place.  A display
table with lots of cool stuff some of it for the silent auction, the circle
of chairs towards the front and everyone in constant conversation --deep
conversations about things that matter, with folks just jumping in knowing
that whatever happen is the only thing that could have.

Never heard so many apologize for not speaking English well enough (and yet
I really understand EVERYTHING they are saying) and there I am after two
days here still struggling with my few basic phrases in Chinese. I am in
awe.

Well I know I could write a book on my adventures of these first two days
discovering this beautiful country with my best new pal Lisa Heft (my face
still hurts from all the smiling and laughing) and with Larry Peterson, my
dear Canadian friend. Already last night, I've had the most incredible
conversations with new friends I've just met who I know already will be
lifelong friends. The passion I felt and heard comes from people who all
care deeply about people, life and others in the most basic human way.  I
just can't imagine what the next few days will be. Xie-Xie (thank you) dear
host team!

Suffice to say that I wish everyone was here. This is truly an incredible
community and now my biggest challenge will be to quiet myself down to allow
myself to breathe into this wonderful space!  Hugs to all from Taipei,
Taiwan.
