[OSList] Occupy Resources from Tom Atlee

[Artur Silva]

Suzanne:


There
is no need for apologies. On the contrary… Frequently
I have no time to read my Yahoo messages, including many from the OSLIST. In my
inbox, there were so many mails on top of the one (marvelous) from Christine
that probably I would never read it.
 
So,
for me, it was from your previous message that I get to know not only the real
truth concerning the Rome events but also, in the bottom of it, I had the
opportunity to see and follow the links that Christine Whitney so kindly sent
us. In fact what you did was to repeat loud Christine’s words and links ;-)
 
I
was particularly impressed by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dtD8RnGaRQ.
 
I
think this is "spontaneous OST", a version of opening space without
facilitators and without the "principles" repeated every time - as anyone
can act at a time in that role. So
maybe Harrison is right and some day in the near future we will no longer need
to talk about OST, neither to open the space for others, as OST will
become the normal way of doing meetings... 
 
With
care 
 
Artur

Dear Open Space community,

I want to apologize if I should have shifted the focus in any way from Christine's post  directing us to the most wonderful resources and the very wise messages of Tom Atlee.   

I had just returned to my hotel room after more than 12 hours walking through Rome. I impulsively posted my short note without checking out all the links that Tom had pulled together. 

I was living through a multitude of emotions including what I had witnessed during the manifestations the day before, feeling history happening, feeling awe, hope, concern for the safety of others, purposeful in recognizing the opening of space for a new way of being and doing, and frustration at the disappointment of so many that a few anarchists had suppressed the positive messages of mainstream Italians taking a stand for their future. Without thinking I knew I wanted to share this with my Open Space community. I should have started another post. 

Now I urge everyone to follow the stream of links that Tom Atlee pulled together and also most especially his wonderful blog. Thank you Christine for leading us there!

Hopeful and appreciative,
Suzanne

>Unbelievably I was in Rome Italy yesterday, marching with the predominantly peaceful crowds, mostly young but many other age groups too. I was inspired and regret that the coverage around the world focused on the isolated incidents of violence. Today Sunday, I returned finding myself drawn to my old journalist days interviewing people of all ages. Most are supportive of what is happening and many were frustrated that a few anarchists (less than 1000 out of a crowd of 200,0000 according to the police) are the ones garnering all the media attention. Today hope was in the air with tourists throwing coins in the Trevi fountain and youth speaking passionately with such wisdom about the need for a better future. In the end they say, this movement is not political; it's about ethics!
