Poem #1

Open space 

is a 

quick 

brown 

fox

jumping over that

lazy dog 

Control.

 


Poem #2

I feel deeply touched 

 

About everything that is happening 

My deepest feelings goes to the family of the deceased

 

Principles like love, peace, respect…are they lost?

Always seemed right to love and respect every soul , every living being!

Rises my inner voice against all kind of hate and evil

Is this the world we want to build?

Say no to hate, say no to fear, say yes to love, and please respect all kinds of being!

 


Poem #3

Someone may say, ‘What can one person do?, when others are so evil?’

One person can step forward.

Just as in Open Space.

Speaking to passion and responsibility.

We’ve seen it happen.

 

In Open Space, we have learned to notice the differences.

The one person.

The diversity.

 

One person can step forward.

Name a topic.

Submit a poem.

Hold a session with just themselves attending it.

 

In Open Space, we welcome that.

We invite it.

Even one person stepping forward

stepping into their passion and responsibility

can shift an organization. A community. A way of thinking.

 

Someone said, 'Only one person on this list submitted a poem.'

 

One person.

Stepping forward.

Speaking to passion and responsibility.

 

What can one person do?

Step forward into the silence.

Breathe.

Open up her arms.

Invite difference.

Embody the simple fact that

each person matters.

 

One person can do the most loving thing it is in her heart to do.
