[OSList] Angie Arrien

Hi friends!

I was very moved with Angie´s dead. I knew the new just during the
preparation of a 2´5 open space meeting on love,... MaiteMuhinduz (kind of
"surfing love waves"). I´ve been thinking about it since...

Angeles was very connected to her Basque roots (she very happily offered a
copy of "The Four Fold Way" to the audience of our radio interviews), and
at the same time someone very conscious and proud of the shared values of
all the indigenous cultures, I feel,...

These day´s in the Pagorriaga (delicious nature place at 700 m height in
Murumendi mountain, Basque Country) we are celebrating ten continuous
day-and-night "One Heart Dance" with Roy Littlesun. Plain and continuous
Hopi drumming mixed with Basque txalaparta, and a walking dance following a
certain pattern. Ancient, spiritual, meditative, profound,... WONDERFUL!

Roy´s words, manners, and patterns connect me once and again with Angie.
She would have loved taking part, I think.

In 2011, during Karen´s and Harrison´s yearly January NY Open Space for
Peace workshop, I dared to invite Harrison,... As far as I can remember,
kind of,...

*- "ho, would you come to the Basque Country to share your knowledge and
experience? "*
*- "if Angie comes, I´ll come too" *answered Harrison straightly, quickly,
shortly

I contacted Angie, with whom I had been in touch some time before, she was
liking the idea very much, but she had a full agenda for several months,...
we postponed the idea...

now, during the One Heart Dance (here a link with my impressions expressed
in Basque) <Dear Open Space friends, I too am one of the many thousands
who've been inspired and affected by Angeles' life and work, and will miss
her very much. Here is another rich trove of Angie teaching and
storytelling (beautiful videos and transcripts) from the last few years of
the Mt Madonna Chautauqua gatherings:
http://mountmadonnaschool.org/chautauqua/ Larry, warm congratulations on
the birth of your new grandbaby. Last week I spoke with Patrick O'Neill,
your co-grandfather , and Angie's extraordinary colleague and protegé, and
commented that Angie had left us so many treasures, some yet to unpack. He
replied, "They're all walking on two legs" (and doesn't that sound like
something she would say?) All the ways described by everyone in this
thread, how you are living the teachings she shared so generously, and
taking her influences into your own work, are striking and beautiful
evidence of how true that is. The last time I got to speak with Angie a
few months ago she said that the work she was currently willing to
devote herself to had to be replicable and sustainable, that her guiding
question was "will it make a difference in 100 years?" She was teaching in
the new Community Studies Masters program at Mt Madonna Institute, and
fostering a lot of intergenerational work. Chris Weaver, your delightful
way of honoring Angie by sharing her story with your 3rd graders sounds
just perfect: "I am thinking that by the fire I'll weave Angie's journey
into a little story for the kids, and end up with one of her gifts - the
four ways of spirit - which I have no doubt that the children will
understand...& those who find it useful will remember." love, Christy>,
she is here too, sharing her immense spirit with us, all the time.

live, laugh, love,
