Oh Viv,

I am very shocked and saddened to hear this news.
Thank you for letting us know and for saying you will tell us about  
funeral arrangements.

Last time I saw him, some weeks ago, Brian was walking down the main  
street in Queenscliff during a retreat break.
Still the same easygoing greeting.

He was at the heart of Open Space for me.
I'll miss knowing he is holding space in the flesh in Oz.

We'll all still benefit from his wisdom and eldership, around the world.
But I'll miss him.

Allison.
