Futur de l' OSI France

[christine koehler]

Harrisson, You got it right :-).
 And indeed, that's what I believe we've experienced now : the spirit is
awaiting for a safe and welcoming home. We created the form too quicly,
within an old frame, assuming spirit will come. Everything was confused.
That's why I don't believe any more that we just need to change the form.
I'd like that we break this old non-workable form, greet it for what it has
done, and see together where spirit leads us. What form will then emerge
from spirit, we don't know..
