[OSList] WOSonOS, OS List and Real Time Virtual

[Suzanne Daigle]

IGNORE the PREVIOUS... it was as I was pouring my heart out in draft form.
Somehow the SEND button activated by itself.    Insignificant in the whole
scheme of things. My aplogies.


Hello dear friends on the OS list.

This week I find myself transported back to WOSonOS London with my head and
my heart.  I experience the cellular memory of heartfelt connections that
happened there as if it was yesterday.

As war wages in Gaza, I also experience confusion and sadness, worried
about my dear OS friends, their families and so many others living this
chaos.

I remember sitting in the giant circle next to Tova Averbuch of Israel and
Claudia Gross, German now living in Egypt -- they have become such dear
friends. I can see them now, sitting side by side, laughing and enjoying
each other like sisters, planning and dreaming what it would be to host an
Open Space together and sharing that idea with all of us as they walked the
middle of the circle, arm in arm on that final WOSonOS day.  A picture of
peace, possibility and love!

Each are on my Facebook and how grateful I am to have this virtual way of
being up close and personal.  Yesterday and today, Tova posted a few links
that I felt a longing to share with you.

Tova invites us to listen to her daughter singing a song of peace and the
song was picked up in the Huffington Post, an interview 30+ minutes long
well worth listening to!

 I close in gratitude for this unique community like none other I know of
and concur with an earlier post by Harrison describing that this OS
community has been around for 27 years with thousands of members from all
around the world.  And whether on a large scale or a small scale in the
intimacy of our lives, there is a lot of spirit in this community -- a
spirit that defies organization and seems to be life itself.

Warm regards,
Suzanne
