Suzanne, I can smell the home-cooked food, see the posters, and feel  
the energy buzzing.

Thanks for bringing us in!

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.
