[OSList] On Gratitude: With a Nod to Harrison Owen, Anne Stadler, and Spirited Work

[David Osborne]

Peggy,

I really appreciated you blog and sharing it here. I'd like to add my voice
to the appreciation of Harrison with a quick story.

I, a stranger emailed Harrison out of the blue just over a year ago. I had
just finished reading "The Practice of Peace" ...one of my favorite books
and wanted to meet him and talk more about complexity & opening space in
human systems. Harrison obliged and we met and had one of the most
inspiring lunch conversations I've ever had. Harrison has come to some of
the programs on Complexity and Change that I facilitate as a guest speaker,
and we've met for more lunches and conversation, which always leaves me
energized.

Just one example of Generosity to a stranger among many that I'm sure
Harrison has.

I have learned from Harrison the self-organization is a law like gravity
and magnetism. I've come to understand it, feel it and be able to support
it all through Harrison's inspiration and sharing.

I am deeply appreciative for Harrison as a light along my life-path.

Appreciatively,

David
