Lesley's advice is very wise...short, simple and to the point.

Also you may find some useful advice in my own interpretation of the Tao te Ching, applied to Open Space, The Tao of Open Space, which you can download for free here: http://www.archive.org/details/TheTaoOfHoldingSpace

Good luck and have fun!
