[OSList] A Quote

[Harrison Owen]

Eleder - Lovely! And just for your information (at least as far as my life
experience goes), Letting Go is not an option - for the very simple reason
that you never had "it" under control in the first place. There may have
been some degree of illusion, perhaps delusion - but the fact of the matter
is that the world is too complex, interconnected, and fast moving to even
"think it", let alone "manage the process." So letting go of what we never
had should be a "no brainer." And definitely not an "option." Or something.

so true, Bhav, thanks for this insightful spark!
I come from a month full of OS events (a first 2'5 days on the future of
education; a 1'5 hours succesful experiment; and an underground experience
in a quite closed work environment among them) and I realize that sometimes
it is quite difficult for me to let go. On the other hand, I wonder: is it
possible to let go too much? The story, very briefly: it happened in this
2'5 days open space on the future of education (closed last Wednesday). I
spent 4 days in San Sebastian, met a very special person and I found life
opening space profoundly out of the OS event. Less sleep, more vulnerable,
some doubts whether I was letting go too much,...  Reading Donella's quote
makes me believe that definetely not. 
Thanks so much, Bhav!

pd: the event was great and the holi-afternoons brought among other a great
gift. I tried and learned first time in my life jumping and diving into the
sea arms-and-head-first, from a three meter height :-)! Sure, fruit of
having let go
