Dear friends,

It was so nice meeting you all (again) at international house to learn and exchange, and the after open space at Chuni's house was great fun. Ms. song and I have been back to China now and we look forward to our next gathering! 

Happy Chinese spring festival! Love you all! 

Cheers!
Hulu

I feel we are living the exponential growth of Open Space where 6 degrees of separation feels more like 3 degrees of separation. Where Global becomes Local and Local becomes Global.

Coincidentally this past weekend, there was another Creative New Jersey Open Space, the 5th or the 6th such event after the first that Chuni Li and I worked on together in 2011. Chuni and I met at International House and it led us to work together a few months later. That collaboration led to a series of events self-directed and self-led in Open Space. Information on this here: https://www.facebook.com/CreativeNJ  and at Creative New Jersey.

For example, Chuni Li invited Ms. Song, Hulu and a few of us for supper at her home on the night after the International House Open Space.  We ended up staying overnight and some stayed most of the week due to the big winter storm. Impossible to describe the warm hospitality of the Li family.

So thank you OS list, thank you Harrison, Karen and everyone for enriching my life with friends and purpose.
