> Dear Alan, what a blessing to have met you in Taiwan, to know you! What a blessing to be part of this community! These past few days I have been visiting with Karen Davis in Quebec where I was born. Yesterday we were talking about you and your vision around Conversare, a beautiful opening of space where strangers can meet strangers. We spoke of how the world needs this now, to be reminded of the simple joy of being together. Amidst the issues, the hurts, the polarization of perspectives, and all that needs to be done in the world, there is a soothing feel of just being with each other. I celebrate being on this list, in this community feeling the pride and joy of knowing you Alan and others like Sharon Joy Chao who has just opened incredible space with 1000. To also know all who gave their gifts of experience and support to her as she opened this big space. How very special to be connected with so many this way.
> Thank you Harrison Owen for bringing Open Space to us and sharing it so generously. It is a gift that never stops giving!
> I close with this quote on the wall at Karen's home by Goethe. "As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live". Open Space gifted me with trusting myself bringing joy, peace and immense gratitude.
> Love to all in our Open Space world! Suzanne

> Hi Alan!
> Thank you for your "dispatch" from your continuing remarkable travels as an itinerant apparatchik. And thank you for sharing this gem from Anne Stadler. Anne's kitchen was my first-ever encounter with OST, long long ago. Her words whcih you share prove true to me increasingly each day: community, and the gift of heartful, mindful appreciative attention, live perennially, paying no heed to the apparent laws of space and linear time.
