[OSList] Follow-Up and Flow in Open Space

[paul levy]

The javelin thrower reaches behind him - gathering in just what he needs
from the space behind him, he comes into the present moment then his aim,
already part of a flow from behind, begins to aim into the space before
him, then he throws and lets go - but only of the javelin - the flow of
past, present and future remains alive in him , not only in his "now" but
also he in ever present future and past.
